Winter weather at the Beeches
Please be aware that during wintry weather conditions, a
build up of ice and snow can make the roads surrounding Burnham
Beeches very hazardous . If ice and snow prevail please take extra
care or, better still, leave the car at home.
Burnham Beeches and
Stoke Common are owned and managed by the City of London and
are funded almost exclusively through the City's private funds.
Despite its relatively small size of 220 hectares (540 acres),
Burnham Beeches is classified as a Site of Special Scientific
Interest (SSSI) and a National Nature Reserve (NNR). It is also
designated as an internationally important Special Area of
Conservation (SAC). SAC's are strictly protected sites designated
under the EC
Habitats Directive
Burnham Beeches and Stoke Common combine the roles of open
space, important wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities.
The reserves are managed by 12 full time and part time staff
including Rangers, a Litter Picker, Conservation Officer, Support
Services and a Superintendant, along with a large support network
of volunteers.
