Cock Robin Wood

Created on arable farmland on the edge of Rugby, this reserve was created on land donated by Sainsburys, to mitigate the building of its nearby supermarket. 

 The diverse mixture of habitats that have developed now support an already impressive array of plants and animals. A large pool adds considerable diversity, with water-lilies and pondweeds hiding an assortment of aquatic life. Frog, toad, moorhen and dragonfly breed here, with fascinating water boatmen and diving beetles indicating the successful creation of the fast establishing pool.

Reserve work party

There is a weekly work party of fantastic volunteers here at Cock Robin Wood. They get hands-on looking after the reserve.

If you're interested in volunteering please contact volunteering@wkwt.org.uk. 

Green and Healthy Rugby ran in 2016 introducing people to getting active outdoors at our reserves. There is strong evidence of the health and wellbeing benefits of getting active outside.

We hosted free taster sessions in 2016 and had a great turnout with lots of people becoming regular volunteers. Find out more about the success of Green and Healthy Rugby!
