Worcestershire Wildlife Trust is closing the car park at Tiddesley Wood over Bonfire Night weekend to protect wildlife from fireworks.

Worcestershire Wildlife Trust is temporarily closing the car park at Tiddesley Wood over Bonfire Night weekend to protect wildlife and the woodland. The car park will close at 3pm on Thursday, November 5 and reopen at 9am on Monday, November 9.

The trust said fireworks cause significant distress to wildlife, leaving animals scared and disorientated. They also create litter and pollution at the site. Last year, the trust spent considerable time clearing up discarded fireworks left behind by visitors.

The trust has also reported an increase in other anti-social behaviour at the site this year. A spokesperson said: 'We have therefore taken the decision to temporarily close the car park to help protect the woodland and the wildlife that calls it home.'
