Dukes Wood Nature Reserve was given by British Petroleum to the Nottinghamshire Trust for Nature which was formed in 1963 to protect the County's Wildlife and to stimulate interest in it amongst adults and children alike. Links between BP and Nottinghamshire Trust for Nature go back many years, notably through Sir Peter Kent, formerly BP's Chief Geologist, who was the Trust's President for two years before his untimely death in 1986. The Trust and BP welcome you to Dukes Wood and hope that your visit will add to your knowledge of Nottinghamshire's rich natural and Industrial history.
