The land at Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve is owned by Lafarge Aggregates Ltd and leased to the Trust for 99-years at £1 per year.  Management of the reserve is grant-aided by Natural England.

     


The Visitor and Education Centre cost £600,000 to build in 1998 and was funded thanks to support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Lafarge Aggregates Ltd (through the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme), the Environment Agency, several companies and many local people.

We would like to thanks all of them for their support and generosity, which ensures the Centre is now available for everyone to enjoy.

During 2000, as part of the ITV Year of Promise, Carlton TV supported a new bird hide and improvements to the Sensory Garden: Severn Trent Water helped with a new Sensory Garden pond feature. 

 

In 2001 the nature trail, access gate and signage was upgraded thanks to support from the Onyx Environmental Trust (through the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme)
