Visit Towerhouse Wood,

with veteran trees and

a mysterious pond

 which is always producing gas bubbles.

 

 

 

Netcott’s Meadow, close to Backwell Lake, and which is well known for its orchids

                                                                            is managed by Avon Wildlife Trust.

 

 Stockway North Nature Reserve is in the centre of Nailsea,

                                                                                behind the Garden of Rest.

 

Come and see the new pond -     Return to the top

      -  its plants and dragonflies!

 

We have already found a Blackbird

nest with 2 eggs, and the Blue Tits

 have nested in the box near the gate.

Several boxes have been used by Great Tits.

We have now added Tawny Owl, Woodpecker and Tree Creeper nesting boxes.

We have been able to clear

          much of the rubbish and we have

                     now planted many trees and a new hedge

                                        with help from volunteers, both young and old -
