Due to the heavy rainfall experienced recently across Beds, Cambs and Northants please be careful when visiting our nature reserves. Make sure you are wearing appropriate footwear and stick to footpaths were possible.
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 and follow our Reserve Access Guidelines and the Countryside Code. 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 and our reserve updates map for updates. We are grateful for your understanding.
