Join us on Wednesday, 09 September for a hands‑on volunteer day in Horton!

Join us at Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve for a Litter Blitz and conservation volunteer day on Wednesday 9 September

Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve is a hidden gem and an important site for wildlife in Horton and on the edge of Colnbrook & Poyle. The reserve has been neglected for some time, and we're looking to continue our work to improve it for both wildlife and the local community.We'll be clearing litter and carrying out other practical conservation tasks to help give this valuable green space the care and attention it deserves. While there's plenty of work to be done, every bag of litter collected, and every helping hand makes a difference.Please book here so we know how many people to expect.
