Maple Lodge Nature Reserve - Open day - 3 August

Discovery Day
Maple Lodge Nature Reserve
Maple Cross


On Sunday, 3rd August this private reserve will once again be open to the general public when it holds its annual Discovery Day.  The reserve is one of Rickmansworth’s hidden secrets and is home to a rich variety of wildlife including waterfowl, woodland birds, bats and butterflies.

 

Throughout the day guided tours of the reserve will be organised by members of the Maple Lodge Conservation Society.  There are two lakes and many hides to explore around the reserve, some of which have wheelchair access.

Light refreshments will be available all day and there will also be plants, second-hand books and greeting cards on sale.  Entry to the reserve and parking will be free of charge.

Keith Pursall, the Society’s chairman, says “We hope as many people as possible will take this opportunity to come and enjoy this secret sanctuary, especially those who have not visited Maple Lodge before.  After being given a tour of the reserve visitors can, if they like what they have seen, join the Society on the day of their visit.”

Maple Lodge Nature Reserve is owned by Thames Water who lease it to the members of Maple Lodge Conservation Society who work hard all year round to maintain the 40 acres of woodland, meadow and lakes.  Membership of the Society is open to anyone with an interest in conservation and natural history.
