Yardley Chase
Yardley Chase is a 353.1 hectare forest in Northamptonshire, with a small area in Buckinghamshire, which consists of two similar shaped forests, which are each about long, and wide, in places. The forests are about south of Yardley Hastings in Northamptonshire, and about the same distance north of Olney in Buckinghamshire.
==Site of special scientific interest==
The variety of available habitats, coupled with the diversity of associated species and its large total area makes Yardley Chase one of the foremost sites for nature conservation in the East Midlands.〔( "Yardley Chase" )〕 It comprises a designated site of special scientific interest (SSSI) and is home to the Black Hairstreak butterfly as well as rare dragonflies and examples of trees dating back to the English Civil War.〔("M.O.D. Opens Yardley Chase Site to Wildlife Enthusiasts" )〕
Much of the site was originally a Norman Hunting Chase and is now woodland, pasture and parkland. More recently, military use over a large part has left a series of railway tracks, grassland glades and open pools in the forest. The value of these habitats, particularly for invertebrates, is enhanced by their long isolation from intensive agriculture and by their presence over a large area.
There is documentary evidence in the form of early maps and estate plans to indicate a long history of woodland on the site, although much of the former ancient semi-natural woodland has been replanted or modified. This has created a range of woodland types including plantations of oak, mixed broad-leaves such as ash and conifers. The integrity of the woodland blocks as a whole is essential to their nature conservation importance, but the relatively unmodified areas are of particular significance.
