Braziers Wood forms part of a wider woodland known as Pepper’s Hill Plantation, a short distance north of Chesham in rural Buckinghamshire. We have been advised that the wider wood won the Chiltern Woodland of the Year award in 2001. Access is along a meandering woodland track. 

Situated over level and softly pitched chalk and flint soils, the southwestern side hosts mature ash, oak, hornbeam, sycamore, cherry, and beech; the latter being popular for flooring, joinery and furniture making, and was traditionally grown to supply a thriving furniture trade in this region. There are a few stems with the potential  to be sold to the sawn timber market.

Within the shrub layer, you will find hazel coppice, holly groves, and hawthorn, along with thickets of ash and beech regeneration (both shade-tolerant species). The northeastern side of the wood comprises some relatively recent restocking of small-leaved lime, alder, wild service tree and field maple. A mixture of mature ash, oak, willow, and cherry extends beyond here, closer to the boundary. During the warmer times of year, the ground layer is adorned with woodland flora including bluebell, common spotted orchid, foxglove, primrose, violet, wood anemone, and yellow archangel.

Any number of locations offer space for camping, bushcraft activities and even timber processing following on from a little light brush clearance (a mobile sawmill and log splitter come to mind). 

Feathered inhabitants include both great spotted and green woodpeckers, tawny owl, cuckoo, nuthatch, skylark, treecreeper and many acoustic songsters. The mammal populace includes deer (muntjac, fallow and roe), badger, hare, fox and wood mouse.
