Information board in Piper's Hill & Dodderhill Commons Nature Reserve, near Hanbury, Worcs The board is by the pool in the Reserve, which is managed by Worcestershire Wildlife Trust. It explains the work done to remove vegetation from the pond, which was partly funded by The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. This is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSI).
