Colliers Wood, established on the site of the former Moorgreen Colliery, forms part of Nottinghamshire's Greenwood Community Forest. It was created in a restoration scheme in 1996/7, just over ten years after the colliery had ceased production. According to Broxtowe Borough Council, the site will become characteristic of local woodland with sessile oak, birch and alder as well as several other tree species.
