Judith Gallimore has done a survey of butterflies in the wood.   The results are in this spreadsheet.  Judith went to Sharphill Wood on five occasions in the summer of 2008 and found 108 butterflies of 18 species.

In January 2010 Sharphill Wood was declared a Local Nature Reserve; Rushcliffe Borough Council, The Friends of Sharphill Wood and Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust will be at Sharphill Wood at 11.00am on 7 July 2010, to celebrate this declaration with the assistance of children from Ruddington and Radcliffe Day Nursery.

We invite you to help us to celebrate this event, if you can, please join us at the northern entrance of the wood (this can be accessed from Peveril Drive, by following the public footpath due south), a map is attached. A short ceremony marking the Local Nature Reserve status will be held at the entrance and will be followed by a guided walk around the wood lasting approximately 1 hour.
