Hoad's Wood
Hoad's Wood is an 78 hectare area of woodland in Kent, England, close to Great Chart (map ref. TQ9542), which has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest by Natural England. The wood has held this status since 1951. English Nature (a forerunner of Natural England) described the woodland thus: "This site is a good example of a pedunculate oak-hornbeam woodland on Wealden Clay [comprising] mainly hornbeam coppice-with-standards and oakhazel woodland with some sweet chestnut coppice. There is an outstanding assemblage of insects: moths and butterflies are particularly well documented. The wood also supports a diverse breeding bird community."[1] Birds breeding in the wood include nightingale, woodcock, nuthatch, greatspotted woodpecker and several kinds of tits and warblers.
