On the lefthand side is The Elms, Middle Field and the Estate road. In the distance you can see Restharrow Scrape... forward from there is Jubilee Field with its trees, shrubs and surrounding hedgerow. Then comes Dragonfly Field with the original 'Damselfly Pond' and its three new ponds and paths made from the 'spoil' dug out when constructing the new ponds. The long hedgerow has been enhanced with many more native species of trees.
For ten years we leased these two fields, but managed to purchased them in 2024 thanks to many donations from charitable trusts, local commerce, our members and many members of the public. Much work went on to enhance the new reserve with new ponds dug and a great many trees planted.
It now has a nature trail with interpretation boards. Gradually the bare paths and pond banks are becoming vegetated and more wildflowers and invertebrates colonise both land and water. Donated benches, flat paths and people-friendly gates mean that is accessible for all.
