We welcome visitors to the Fox Corner Widlife Area arriving on foot or by bicycle.
Dogs are also welcome to visit but must be kept on a lead at all times within the site. If your dog likes to run free then please come alone or else with 'two-legged' members of your household.
Please adhere to the current government guidelines regarding social distancing and be aware that others will haves used the gate latches and bins etc.
This year's AGM and talk is postponed until further notice.

The Wildlife Area is an ideal place for families to visit and have picnics. Running a wildlife area inevitably involves a delicate balance of priorities - protecting and encouraging wildlife and also providing an area which gives pleasure to visitors and residents alike. Most of these are reflected in our Fox Corner Country Code.
Dogs are a particular issue. If uncontrolled, they can alarm wildlife, disturb nests and leave unwelcome excrement anywhere on the site. Groups of children are encouraged to visit to enjoy pond-dipping and mini-beast hunts. For their sake, it is vital that they do not come into contact with the results of dog-fouling. At one stage, we felt that it would be a good idea to ban dogs altogether but after representations from local people, agreed that they could be allowed but strictly only on leads.
We respectfully, but firmly, ask you to abide by this particular rule.
