About Us
Woorgreens is a nature reserve and lake in the heart of the Forest of Dean which is home to a wide range of plants and animals, many miles of footpaths and open forest views.
In the spring and summer it's a great place to spot dragonflies and damselflies or look for reptiles. Bird life is abundant, both on the lake and the surrounding heathland and woodland edges - listen out for the sound of the cuckoo, look for shy crossbills in the woodland edges, or look for hobbies chasing dragonflies over the lake.
Developed from open-cast mine workings, Woorgreens is now a selection of marsh, lake and heath habitats. It is home to many types of rare and unusual wildlife.
Exmoor ponies, English longhorn cattle and Highland cattle have been introduced here in the past.
