In 2006, Thames Valley Police cordoned off the woodland between Tylers Green, Totteridge, Micklefield and High Wycombe (Kingswood) for a fingertip search for evidence linked to the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot. The woodland remained cordoned off for four months before being reopened in November 2006.[http://www.pennandtylersgreen.co.uk/global/news.asp Penn and Tylers Green News Website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721175717/http://www.pennandtylersgreen.co.uk/global/news.asp |date=2011-07-21 }}
