Highgate Common
This SSSI heathland owned by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust boasts some very rare invertebrates including glow worms and many species of solitary bees. In addition to the heathland, there is a range of habitats with ancient pools and woodland fringes, ideal for a mixed variety of butterflies and moths. The swathes of heather, bilberry and broom house strong colonies of Small Heath, Small Copper, golden Skippers and Green Hairstreak, while the mixed woodlands are home to Purple Hairstreak, White Admiral, White-letter Hairstreak, Orange Underwing and Birch Mocha. On the edge of the West Midlands conurbations it provides a vital green space for the local population.
