Wareham Trail Traditional Cache

A track that passes through the site comprises part of the 'Wareham Forest Way', a walk that leads from Wareham to Sturminster Marshall.^] There is also a route for cyclists called the Sika Cycle Trail.Situated to the east of the forest is Morden Bog National Nature Reserve Calluna (or heather) and grasses such as Molinia caerulea (or Purple Moor Grass) grow readily at Wareham Forest, give grazing fodder to a population of Sika^] The nationally scarce Dartford Warbler and the nightjar has been observed around here, and Sand Lizards may also be spotted The iconic Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria), hallucinogenic toadstool, has been recorded within the forest. In 2006 the Journal of Zoology published the results of a nine year study that looked into the breeding frequency of the site's smooth snakes (Coronella austriaca).
