The Wick Local Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in St Albans, United Kingdom.
The Wick Local Nature Reserve spans 3.4 hectares of land containing dense oak and hornbeam trees, seasonal ponds, and historic field boundaries marked by banks and ditches.
Sir Arthur Copson Peake transferred the land to St Albans City Council in 1929 with specific instructions to maintain its natural condition for future generations.
The Friends of the Wick community group actively participates in regular maintenance activities to preserve the natural environment and promote local wildlife conservation.
Visitors can enter the reserve through two main access points located at Sandpit Lane and Marshal's Drive, with free street parking available near the entrance gates.
The reserve features ancient semi-natural woodland designated as a County Wildlife Site, supporting multiple species within its protected boundaries.
