Pitcher Oak Wood Energetic Ramble (POWER) is set in an ancient semi-natural woodland designated as a Local Nature Reserve by Redditch Borough Council.
The 3.02 ha (7.46 acres) site is bounded by roads and housing developments and has a diverse structure with significant open glade areas adding to the overall diversity. This is predominantly oak woodlands with both pedunculate and sessile oak dominating the canopy, though other species including birch, small leaved lime, large leaved lime, hazel, ash, field maple, yew, wild service and sweet chestnut are also found.
The ground flora is similarly diverse with a range of woodland indicators augmented by rich grassland in the glades. In places the flora tends towards a more acidic mix with species including heather and tormentil occurring. Faunal records are incomplete but bats and a variety of nesting birds are known to use the area and there are records for a range of butterflies including Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary, White Admiral and Small Heath.
There are a variety of paths around the area, ranging from flat, tarmacced and well maintained surfaces to extremely steep, boggy and slippery tracks - in summer it can be very dry, but in winter it can be extremely muddy and treacherous.
All caches are standard hides placed fairly close to established paths - these are intended to be easily accessible and placed to help you explore and appreciate the woods, rather than to tax or tease you.
There is no set order to find them, so you will need to make your own way around the woods - but watch out for the steep climb up / down to Musketts Way - this is where the E in POWER came from!!
