Wren's Nest is internationally know as a geology site. The most famous fossil found there is the "The Dudley Bug". The reserve is not only geologically very important but is also home to over 200 species of wild flowers.
Fossilised exoskeleton
Wren's Nest is one of the few places in the West midlands where you will find locally rare plants, such as Small Scabious, Milkwart and Quaking Grass.
The presence of three distinct woodland layers (tree layer, shrub layer and ground layer) provides the ideal habitats for birds and small mammals. If your lucky you may spot a fox or one of the smaller mammals such wood mice or Bank Voles.
Visting the reserve is a year round outdoor activity. Appreciate the many species of wildlife found there during Winter, Autumn, Spring and Summer.
