The Coppice, Kelvedon Hatch

The Coppice, Kelvedon Hatch is a 9.4-hectare (23-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Kelvedon Hatch in Essex.

[1][2] The site is an ancient semi-natural wood in the valley of a small tributary of the River Roding.

It is base-rich alder on the valley floor, and oak and hornbeam in other areas.

The shrub layer is sparse, but the stream provides an additional habitat.

[1] There is no public access, but a footpath runs along the western boundary.
