We run Nosterfield Nature Reserve, near Ripon in North Yorkshire, now widely regarded as one of the best examples of wetland grassland in the north of England.
All photographs, unless otherwise stated, provided by Whitfield Benson.
We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate to assist and support work in our conservation plant nursery and be trained to manage the running of the nursery into the future.
Multiple breeds of owls, multitudes of curlew and many other breeds braved the snow and ice on the reserve in January. Many thanks to Andy Hanby for his report.
Draw your favourite bird, send us a photograph of it and come and see your fantastic artworks displayed in the main hide at Nosterfield Nature Reserve!
What you can find in the dipping ponds in spring? Use nets, trays and identification guides to explore different species and take a closer look with magnification pots and hand lenses!
Sessions available at 10am and 1pm
