EspañolPOTTER HANWORTH WOOD
'Potter Hanworth Wood' () is a 32.0 hectare woodland in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England.
The site was notified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1968. The site is also listed in the Nature Conservation Review.
Potter Hanworth Wood is adjacent to the now drained fenland of the Witham Valley. The dominant canopy tree is Small-leaved Lime ''Tilia cordata''; in places the wood consists of pure stands of this species, but elsewhere a variety of other common trees occur. Historically, the site is known to have been continuously wooded and it has a long history of management using the coppice-with-standards technique.
Wild Service-tree ''Sorbus torminalis'' is found in the wood. The ground flora contains a large number of Ancient Woodland Indicator species.
The Poplar Lutestring moth occurs here.
The wood supports a breeding bird community characteristic of ancient woodlands, including Woodcock, and it also contains a small heronry.
