It is our aim to maintain existing and forge new links with local schools, colleges, handicapped groups, young and not so young in an endeavour to actively encourage an appreciation of nature conservation and also help in the day to day management of the Reserve for the future.

Our aim is to provide an attractive and safe place for people to visit, whilst not compromising the wildlife and geological interest.

Volunteer work parties can be seen helping with management work, trying their hand at woodland crafts using traditional materials and methods. Why not join “The Friends of Ravenshill”, experience is not necessary, just an interest in the environment and a desire to contribute to nature conservation. Contact Us for more details.

Workparties

Volunteer workparties are our mainstay in ensuring vital woodland conservation work is done. No experience is necessary, all tools are provided.

  Toads

Every year toads that spend the summer in the wood hibernate until spring. In late February or early March they emerge and move to the pool they were born in to breed. For the toads that move to Lulsley lagoon, this means that they have to cross the road. They do this at night and often pause for a while on the tarmac, because this absorbs heat during the day and so is warmer than the surrounding soil.

  Flagpole

We have provide a replacement flagpole to our local church in Alfrick. It was broken during high winds. We felled a Larch and prepared it before a group of locals carried it just over one mile to the chuch. For more details visit our village website
