Telford and Wrekin council said the dense woodlands spreading up the slopes, open grassland and scrub areas are a fine example of nature retaking land once left barren by industrial activity. Several reptile species have previously been recorded there.
The council has also declared extensions to the Dothill and Shawbirch and the Granville local nature reserves.
