Donations
There is no charge to enter the reserve and refreshments at the visitor centre are provided on a donation basis. This is is a vital source of income for us, as we use your donations to maintain and improve the reserve and feed our wildlife.
Currently we can only accept cash donations at the visitors centre or you can pay by card using our JustGiving page, accessed using the link below.
