Lower Ogden Reservoir is a reservoir close to Haslingden Grane, half a mile to the west of the village of Barley, in the Borough of Pendle.[2] It supplies drinking water to the town of Nelson.[1]

Three forests covering more than 23 hectares (56.8 acres) can be found close to the reservoir. Fell Wood, which is the largest, was planted in 1931 and contains Norway Spruce (Picea abies), Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis), Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) and European Larch (Larix decidua). Blue Wood, which was originally planted in 1935 with Scots Pine, Sitka Spruce and Larch was felled and replanted in 1981. The third forest: Buttock Plantation, was planted in 1935 with Sitka Spruce and Larch.[1]
