Lower Moss Wood has been an educational nature reserve and wildlife hospital for over twenty years.The wildlife hospital is situated within the wood, near Knutsford in Cheshire, and takes in any orphaned, sick or injured wild animal or bird for care, rehabilitation and eventual release back into the wild.
Over the last few years the number of casualties brought to the wildlife hospital has gradually increased, at present totalling around 2000 each year. Animals range from badgers and foxes, to hedgehogs and bats, and bird species vary from small garden birds to owls and other birds of prey (and the occasional rarity such as a frigatebird). The wildlife hospital is not open for viewing, but visiting parties can learn about the work that takes place there during their trip.
