Шаблон:Infobox park Brotheridge Green Nature Reserve is a nature reserve of the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust at Brotheridge Green, about Шаблон:Convert west of Upton-upon-Severn, in Worcestershire, England. It is on a section of a former railway line.

Description

The reserve, which has an area of Шаблон:Convert,[1] is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.[2] It is about half a mile of a section of railway line between Malvern and Upton-upon-Severn, part of the Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway. The line closed in 1952.[3][4]

The eastern part of the site, near the road bridge, is a cutting where soil can remain damp; further west is an embankment, providing a different habitat with well-drained soil. The line is colonised with grassland, scrub and young trees. The site is noted for butterflies: more than 30 species have been recorded, including white-letter hairstreak, small copper and holly blue.[1]

Links and biodiversity

The Trust believes that links between areas of countryside are beneficial for biodiversity; it notes that this reserve is one of several grasslands and one orchard in the area.[1]
