Rough Hill

Rough Hill is a 28ha Tender Scheme in Charnwood. It is a nature conservation-focused scheme with a good mixture of habitats.  This woodland comprises a good mixture of habitats.  An existing spinney has been thinned to favour the broadleaved trees.  Bracken has been removed and heather seeding used to establish heath grassland and heathland typical of this area.  The rocky outcrops provide habitats for lichens and basking areas for invertebrates and reptiles.  The pond is being managed for waterfowl and a floating island provides nesting and roosting areas.
