Additionally, the plantation serves as an important site for conservation efforts, with dedicated areas set aside for the protection and preservation of rare and endangered plant species. These conservation efforts contribute to the overall biodiversity of the plantation and ensure its ecological significance.

Old milestone This milepost on the A171 is just west of a parking area on the other side of the road.   The previous picture, <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6738859">NZ8408 : Old Milestone, on the A171, near Bends sign</a>, was not taken by me but by another Milestone Society member in 2002 before the mileposts on this road were professionally repainted.  This is one of the original castings by F Mattison and Co. Bedale for the North Riding CC in the late 19C/early 20c.   The foundry name is cast inside the right-hand side.
