Dacres Wood
Dacres Wood is a small local nature reserve in Forest Hill in the London Borough of Lewisham. It is owned and managed by Lewisham Council.[1][2]
The site is a remnant of the former
purple hairstreak butterfly, which frequents the tops of oak trees, and has been seen on only three sites in London.[3]
The entrance to the site is off Dacres Road at its junction with Silverdale. It is kept locked except when a local group open the reserve on the last Saturday of each month.
