These include:-
1. Work to restore the ancient hay meadows and increase the number of wild flowers.
2. Management of the 100 year old lake and its surroundings.
3. Care of the woodland and planting new trees and shrubs.
Activities
These are held on Saturday mornings from 10 to 12am several times a year as required. Essential work on the Reserve is done by these working parties, which are good fun and very sociable events. The chairman usually provides coffee half way through the morning.
Four evening talks are held each year in the Church Hall of St Mary's Stoke Bishop. These have covered a wide range of topics concerning different aspects of wildlife and conservation.
These include school visits and guided walks in the Reserve. Click the button to go to a separate page for a fuller account:
