Over the years, a great deal of practical conservation
work has been carried out at Harrington Nature Reserve
including:-
- Coppicing of Willow Carr & cutting back undergrowth
- Path clearance and resurfacing
- Clearing of rubbish and silt deposits from streams &
the reservoir
- Building new handrailed steps to the higher pathways
- The replacement of rotting wooden
bridges with sturdier ones
- Meadow cutting
- Litter picking
The continuing health of the reserve is dependent on this
regular work, mainly by volunteers. Without it,
the area will become flooded, overgrown,
and polluted with litter.

Litter is one addition to the reserve it can do without! |
Practical conservation is one activity that can help the
nature reserve so much, as well as giving a true
sense of pride & achievement for those taking part.
If you feel you could help in some way, whether
it be simply picking up rubbish or cutting
back undergrowth then please get
in touch.
Together, we can help keep the reserve in beautiful condition
for generations to come!
