As part of our ongoing efforts to maximise the impact of our conservation work, we have undertaken a thorough review of our nature reserves and how we can best allocate our limited resources.
After careful consideration, the Trust has made the decision to step away from managing Longspring Wood. The site is now under offer so we have closed our path whilst the sale is completed.
You can find out more about our review here.
