*************

Mere Sands Wood is a 42 hectares (100 acres) nature reserve between the villages of Holmeswood and Rufford in west Lancashire, England, managed by the The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester & North Merseyside. It lies about five miles from Ormskirk^[1]. The name derives from when the area was on the shore of Martin Mere^[1].

The reserve comprises lakes, mature broadleaved and conifer woodland, sandy, wet meadows and heaths^[1], standing on layers of sand and peat, deposited over boulder clay during the last Ice Age^[1]. Between 1974 and 1982 the sand was quarried for use in glass-making^[1]. Under a planning agreement, the site was landscaped into a nature reserve once the extraction was completed^[1]. The Trust acquired the site in 1982^[1] and the reserves was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its geological interest in 1985^[1].
