Located in Buckinghamshire to the west of London,
Burnham Beeches and
Stoke Common combine the roles of scenic open space, important
wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities.
Despite its relatively small size of 220 hectares (540 acres),
Burnham Beeches is classified as 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). SACs are strictly protected sites designated
under the EC Habitats Directive.
Stoke Common covers an area of 80 hectares, and contains the
largest remnant of Buckinghamshire’s once extensive heathland, and
is also designated as a SSSI.
Burnham Beeches and Stoke Common 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. The reserves are owned and managed
by the City of London and are funded almost exclusively through the
City’s private funds.
