Geocache Description:

A nice walk in the country

Park Moss Wood is located to the south of Warrington near to
the village of Arley. The site was acquired by the Woodland Trust
in 1985. The site lies on peaty, low lying remnant moss land and
consequently the ground can often be permanently saturated
particularly in the winter. The site is bounded by a series of open
ditches two of which are required to be de-silted periodically as
they help to drain surrounding farm land. The woodland consists of
silver birch (Betula pendula), oak (Quercus sp), scots pine (Pinus
sylvestis), willow (Salix sp), holly (Ilex aquafolium), alder
(Alnus glutinosa), wild cherry (Prunus avium) and alder buckthorn.
Ground flora includes herb robert (Geranium robertianum), oxlip
(Primula elatior), and a significant population of fern spp.
Currently most of the woodland canopy is dominated by even aged
silver birch with small natural windblown gaps regenerating with
birch and willow. Soon after acquiring the woodland in 1985 a
section of the wood was clear felled (Corsican pine) and restocked
with mixed broadleaves (including oak, cherry, rowan, hazel and
alder). Restocking the felling coupe proved to be challenging.
Invasive bracken, bramble and intense rabbit browsing continue to
be a threat to regeneration today. Public access to the site is
good, the site contains two public rights of way.
