Of the Month 2023

In 2022, we thought it would be good to celebrate life in the reserve and so chose a number of different trees and birds to create a ‘Tree of the month’, ‘Bird of the month’ and ‘Flower of the month’. A chance to learn about the different trees and bird species for yourself. We are continuing with these in 2023.
