Beskrivning
Cann Wood, not to be confused with Cann Woods Plympton (see separate entry), is a Plymouth Local Nature Reserve. Whitleigh Wood is managed by the Woodland Trust. The area is virtually surrounded on all sides by housing estates. Both areas are similar having a mixture of habits including ancient woodland, said to be over 400 years old, hedgerows, scrubland, streams, wet/marshy areas and grass meadows. The woodland contains Oak (Quercus), Ash (Fraxinus), Sycamore (Acer), Sweet Chestnut (Castanea), Beech (Fagus) and Hazel (Corylus), most fallen trees are left to help increase bio-diversity. The grass meadows are only cut during August/September with all mowings removed. Cann Wood is also called the Dr Andy Stevens Reserve in memory of the former Plymouth University lecturer and Plymouth City Council Nature Conservation Officer, who long campaigned for the protection of the site. Resident birds include kattuggla, sparvhök, ormvråk, tornfalk and skogsduva along with common Passerines, during Spring/Autumn passage migrants such as svartvit flugsnappare and rödstjärt are often seen.
