Work parties
We have regular conservation work parties throughout the winter, which mostly focus on
controlling scrub, trimming and laying hedges, and other general maintenance tasks. New
volunteers are always welcome! You can choose which tasks you take on, and can work as
long as you wish. Tools and full instructions are provided. Please wear sturdy footwear,
bring gardening gloves, a drink and a snack. You can find the dates on the information
boards on the reserve itself, and on our website.
Apart from helping us on work parties, there are a number of other ways you could help
us. For example:
Draw or paint the meadows
Do you enjoy sketching, drawing or painting? We would love to have some pictures of the
reserve to use on our website.
Take photographs of our reserve
Could you visit our reserve at different times of the year, and record
the changing landscape? The
colours in our meadows change
throughout the year, and we’d love
to have a record of the changes.
Could you visit in the winter, or
at dawn, sunset, after snowfall or a heavy frost, and record what
you see? Contact us if you have any great photos of the reserve!
Holtspur School children created artwork earlier this year after
their visit to the reserve as can be see here in the images.
Local history
Do you live locally? Do you remember Holtspur Bottom when
you were growing up? Do you have any old photos of the area?
We’d love to hear more about the history of our reserve. Contact us with your story and
photos, and we’ll see if we can include them on our History of Holtspur Bottom page.
