The purpose of the Friends Group and What Friends will contribute<\/p>\n

The purpose of the group is to make it possible to create and sustain a community nature reserve in Slad. The intention is that the Friends Group will collectively provide sufficient funds to ensure the Church Field nature reserve continues to thrive in the future as a place where nature has priority.<\/p>\n

Friends donate an annual sum (current minimum is \u00a320 but we hope many will give more) which will go towards the ongoing costs of maintaining Church Field as a nature reserve putting wildlife first.\u00a0 Those costs may include, but are not limited to, the rental that has to be paid to the landowner, maintenance costs (e.g. fence repairs, dealing with dangerous trees) and\u00a0 insurance.<\/p>\n

We hope that Friends who are able and willing will also join our occasional work parties in the field.<\/p>\n

The ability to go into the nature reserve and experience its wildlife with their immediate family. This access is subject to signing up to a simple code of conduct and risk assessment (see here<\/a>) designed to protect wildlife and grazing animals, keep people safe and secure the privacy of the field\u2019s neighbours. The aspiration is that this access will be allowed for at least 6 months in the year, but it may be temporarily suspended by the Management Group if there are good reasons. For example, access is unlikely to be allowed during the periods when grazing animals are in the field.<\/p>\n
