Welcome to Lower Moss Wood

Lower Moss Wood is an 18-acre educational nature reserve and working wildlife hospital at Ollerton, near Knutsford. The wood is a place for schools, groups with disabilities and other organised parties to learn about conservation and the countryside. Alongside that, the hospital treats around two to three thousand sick, injured and orphaned wild animals and birds each year, with the aim of returning them to the wild. The reserve is not open to the general public except by prior arrangement.

Your gifts keep the wood alive

Lower Moss Wood is a charity. Food, heating, veterinary bills and the running of the hospital and reserve depend on gifts. Donations keep wildlife in care and the wood open for education.

It takes a team

Staff cannot do this work alone. Volunteers feed patients, clean, help on the land and welcome visiting groups. Without them the hospital and reserve could not function.
