Dead hedge

Friday, March 12th 2010

On another gloriously sunny day the Askham Bryan students, under the guidance of Tim, built us another beautiful dead hedge. You can see them here as they started to weave the birch brash between the stakes.

And here is the finished hedge!

The most exciting news is that we saw spawning frogs in the scrapes and just managed to get this photo as proof!

June Wellbeing Wander

Friday 20th June 2025 | 2pm-3pm

Join us on a nature-based wellbeing walk around the reserve.

Having a sense of place and connectedness, being grounded is important for our general wellbeing and mental health. This is an invitation to pause and explore what being in nature can offer you.

Enjoy an afternoon of wellbeing starting with some mind awareness followed by a gentle walk where you get to listen, smell and watch what is around you and connect with any feelings which arise.

Bookings close 19th June.
