Would you like to get stuck into some outdoor conservation work?

Join us for a day of practical conservation and reserve management tasks at Willow Garth Nature Reserve. There’s always plenty to do whatever the season; reedbed management and removing invasive species to name a few. The nature reserve has a mixture of habitats including woodland and wetlands that need to be maintained for the wildlife and public.
