The land between the brook and the recent housing is a Local Nature Reserve managed by Warwick District Council in partnership with Warwickshire Wildlife Trust. Here, the neglected willows have been pollarded in traditional Midlands fashion, bringing several benefits. Tennyson wrote of immemorial elms; willows managed like this could be immortal.
