Officially Opened July 12th 2025

Welcoming words and introduction from our chairman Andy Hallam, giving some background as to how it all came about.

Andy Hallam I want tell you a story

Three V.I.P's.

It was agreed that we should invite people who were village residents and who were less able bodied than most to officially open the Viewing Platform.

The people selected were Brian Branch (centre), our longest serving Parish Councillor. Jim Winstone a past Parish council chairman and ex School Headmaster, and Megan Moss who is a young wheelchair bound person. It is hoped that this shows that the Nature Reserve is there for everyone regardless of age to visit and enjoy the peace and tranquility of it's setting.
