Storm Doris hit the reserve at the weekend and even resulted in the decision to send all staff at HQ home for safety reasons.
Two trees came down on the Old Quarry trail and a number of branches around the reserve trails and staff car parks were casualties but they have now been safely cleared.
The Old Quarry and Galley hill trails are now open but the Sandy Ridge and Old Heath trails remain shut due to forestry operations. We will open these trails as soon as it safe to do so.
The 'Nature after Minerals' walk on Saturday has been cancelled.
Apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause but there is still plenty to see with the birds out in song.
