Geocache Description:

very nice walk around a pond I was bought up playing in very fond menories please place back as it was found

This reserve is a fascinating woodland which links Martin’s Pond with Raleigh Pond in Wollaton. It covers 2.5 hectares and is owned by Nottingham City Council and managed under licence by the Trust. About the Reserve Harrison’s Plantation, together with Martin’s Pond, forms an important wildlife reservoir in this part of the City. A mixed broad-leaved woodland is thought to have been present on this site since the mid 18th century. It arose by natural regeneration from a series of ‘stew ponds’ and Willow Holts associated with the medieval fishery at Martin’s Pond. Until the early 1900s the wood was connected to Long Plantation, which extended for over 1km from Lambourne Drive to what is now the City ring road. Long Plantation was later cleared to make way for housing. The woodland is dominated by sycamore with ash, wild cherry and oak. Damper areas support mature crack willows and alders. The understorey is a sparse layer of elder, hawthorn with some regenerating cherry. The ground flora includes a number of typical woodland plants including dog’s mercury, red campion, nettle-leaved bellflower and bramble. The eastern end of the wood surrounds Raleigh Pond, which is thought to be a former claypit. This now supports breeding mallard and Canada geese. A number of other birds can be seen in the wood including great spotted woodpecker, kingfisher, nuthatch, blackcap, redpoll and spotted flycatcher. Raleigh Pond and wet areas throughout the wood provide excellent habitats for frogs and toads.
