Reserve historyÂ
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.  Â
Our Green and Healthy Rugby programme ran here 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! Â
