In the charity's own words
In the short term, the trustees intend to conduct ecological surveys, produce a 10-year management plan and to commence works to maintain and enhance safe public access to the nature reserve. Our ecological group are now developing a ten-year management plan, incorporating the results and recommendation of these surveys. Community engagement will be at the forefront of future activities.
