Hem Heath Woods is a nature reserve of the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust.

There are four woods: the Oaks, at the southern end, is known to have been woodland for over 400 years; Newstead Woods, Newpark Plantation and Hem Heath were planted, on former farmland, in the mid-1800s.

The management of the wood is intended to ensure that a range of trees is maintained.

The species include oak, ash, cherry, sycamore and beech.

An understorey of woody shrubs is encouraged, including hazel, rowan and hawthorn, which provide homes for wildlife.
