Green Light
These reserves are considered well worth the travelling time to visit, even if you don't live locally. 'Green' sites tend to have several of the following attributes: good access, parking, waymarked wildlife walks, hides, scenic landscape, large size, sufficient interest to warrant a longer visit.

 

Amber Light
Worth a visit for a shorter period of time. The sites may have several of the attributes found at 'green' sites but may be smaller in size and hold less interest.

 

Red Light
Worth a visit if you live locally. These sites tend to be small and lack most of the attributes of 'green' and 'amber' sites. They are nevertheless important for
conservation.

Friends of River Arrow

 

Working closely with Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, the Friends provide support to the Reserve by promoting community involvement, helping with management and routine maintenance, and raising funds for the conservation and promotion of the Reserve.

 

Friends can help on the monthly working parties on the Reserve - jobs include planting trees, clearing brambles, and clearing litter, so there is usually some- thing to suit everyone (it's not compulsory; only if you want!). You'll also receive the newsletter to keep you in the picture about what is happening on the Reserve - what there is to see, and behind the scenes. There are meetings and other events throughout the year.
