Forest of Dean Wildlife

The ancient Forest of Dean has literally been around for thousands of years. It is known that people exploited the oak trees in the area as long ago as 2000 years. Since then, the forest has been subject to a number of laws which were all primarily aimed at protecting this unique and rich eco-system. Indeed, some of these laws are still in existence today and show no signs of any imminent repeal.

Few, if any, woodland areas across the United Kingdom would be able to compete with the range and complexities of the species of flora and fauna that exist in this forest. The Forest of Dean is known to be home to many mammalian species and these include hundreds of fallow deer and now even wild boar have been re-introduced into the area. The forest is one of the best places to visit for ornithologists as it has peregrine falcons and many other interesting and rare species of birds. Forest of Dean Wildlife - Read full Story
