Wirksworth Town Council are seeking legal advise to try & protect the trees, rare wild orchids & other wildlife in and around this Sight of Special scientific Interest. The land was given by Tarmac to Wirksworth Town Council and is managed by them & the volunteers from the Stoney Wood Group who have planted & maintained trees and wildlife for the past twenty five years. The woodland is used by many including, walkers, dog walkers, rock climbers, school groups and is a location for many community events throughout the year especially at the StarDisc. The local beauty spot under threat by Gypsy Roma Traveller camp after Councillors from Derbyshire Dales District Council apologised to the residents of Wirksworth for having to make the decision, commenting that they "wouldn’t wish it on anyone". Councillor Mike Ratcliffe called that decision a "partisan political manoeuvre". Land has been allocated as a 6 month temporary tolerated site.
