Broadwater Warren Broadwater Warren Nature Reserve was opened in 2009 by the RSPB. The area is mainly a conifer forest with some remnant broadleaf woods and heathland. The plan is to restore the area to its original habitat of a wildlife-rich mosaic of heathland and native woodland species with some clumps of pines, a wet woodland, a rare woodland mire and forest ponds. Trails have been signposted around the area.
