A NEW Herefordshire nature reserve has had its grand opening, with a Herefordshire MP cutting the ribbon.

Staff and volunteers from Herefordshire Wildlife Trust were joined by Dr Ellie Chowns, MP for North Herefordshire, along with National Highways, Herefordshire Ornithological Club and Herefordshire Community Foundation at the long-awaited opening of the reserve on August 28.

The new reserve, Oak Tree Farm, is a 30-acre site which slopes down to the river Lugg below Dinmore Hill. The reserve has been years in the making, with Herefordshire Wildlife Trust purchasing the site in September 2020 following a successful fundraising appeal.

You can see why part of Herefordshire returned a Green MP (ousting a Conservative in North Herefordshire), the pollution of the Wye is the big issue but there seems like a strong green movement pushing for improvements to the environment (see also the recent post on water meadows in Hereford itself).
