For the Love of Cannock Chase is a non-party political page and welcomes people who want to learn more about the health and welfare of the largest lowland heathland in Central England. Cannock Chase an AONB, with areas also being SAC & SSSI. Cannock. All of these designations together carry some of the highest national and International habitat and wildlife protections.
Right on our door step is one of the most beautiful and most fragile environments. Cannock Chase is a remarkably varied landscape with ancient woodland, open heath and forestry. We are privileged to have in residence four of Britain’s six reptile species along with some rare and endangered birds like the nightjar, woodlark and woodcock, not to mention some seldom seen plants and insects. We are very lucky.
The UK hosts 20% of the world's remaining heathland and we must protect it, while we find ways to expand nature rich places. We only have 14.5% of land considered natural, and 41% of species studied are in deline.
