We are very excited to announce that we have acquired 37 acres of land next to Newbury Town Centre, with permission to turn it into a public access nature reserve. There is now much to organise, but ecologists are on site doing wildlife surveys, with new habitat designs being made this year, ready for groundwork to start in 2025. Having the land also allows us to start seriously fundraising as it will form the basis for grant funding applications.
The document below shows a general high level plan of the sorts of things we would like to do.
Volunteer work parties can start now too as we have permission to get the site up and running. It would be a great time to get involved.
