Abington Meadows
An urban reserve, restored for wildlife
Sarah Lambert
The majority of our nature reserves remain open with free access and we are delighted that support from our members enables us to offer this.
To ensure nature is still there for us in the future as well as right now please keep dogs on leads, follow our Reserve Access Guidelines and the Countryside Code and we respectfully ask that you don't visit a reserve if it is not possible to practise social distancing there without going off the paths.
We are not yet able to welcome back many of our volunteers, so our capacity to monitor sites and manage facilities is limited. We reserve the right to close areas off quickly if we think there is an unmanageable risk to safety or wildlife. Please check individual reserve pages for updates. We are grateful for your understanding.
