Jimmy Allan, warden at the nature park, will give us an historical perspective of the reserve, which is a former landfill site on the Thames estuary.

A seasonal exploration of this special area, 3300 acres of wonderful wilderness and breath-taking beauty on an island in Kent, 40 miles from London.

An informal social occasion to celebrate a busy year of working for wildlife.

Blow away the cobwebs with a bracing stroll round this excellent Essex Wildlife Trust reserve on the Blackwater estuary.
