Brush Hill is a 14.7 hectares (36 acres) Local Nature Reserve east of Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire.[1][2] It has been managed since 2013 by the Chiltern Society,[3] and it is part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[4]
Habitats on the site are chalk grassland, woodland and scrub. Flora include wood anemone and wood sorrel, and there are birds such as nuthatches and treecreepers.[1] At the top of the hill there is ancient woodland with oak, Scots pine and larch. The grassland is grazed by sheep between October and March.[5]
