For 30 years, until it closed in 1993, Bevercotes was a working colliery, one of the deepest mines in Britain. Most of the spoil from the pit was dumped on site and the Forestry Commission is now converting the tip from a wasteland into a 'natural' landscape. It is still early days, but already the young woodland is home to a wide variety of plants and animals. As the woodland matures it will be managed to benefit wildlife, improve the landscape, provide recreation, and produce timber for local industries.
