Townend Field Nature Reserve.

Comprising 20 acres of diverse natural habitats including woodland, wetlands, meadows, and streams;

Townend Field is home to a rich variety of native wildlife. The land is located alongside the road and footpath between the two villages of Great and Little Ouseburn, offering the opportunity to integrate the reserve into the daily lives of local residents, pupils and visitors.

Spot-snap-share our spotted friends!

Help our wildlife survey team understand the current health and diversity of the ladybird population (there are many different types of ladybird!) This can be done not only in the reserve, but in both Little and Great Ouseburn, too!
