Friends of Saltwells Nature Reserve (FOSNR)

Friends of Saltwells Nature Reserve (FOSNR) are a voluntary group consisting of members of the public who wish to preserve and enhance the nature reserve for the benefit of the local community and all who use it, working alongside the wardens of the reserve. Awarded The Kings Award for Vountary Services 2024.

We offer several events and activities on site at Saltwells throughout the year. Most of these events are free and many of them are family friendly. Some of our events include:

• Come and See: walks and talks to find out about the nature reserve and witness its changes through the seasons

• Come and Create: fun and inspirational family friendly events including nature themed crafts and activities

• Come and Explore: full day walks reaching every corner of Saltwells and out to other local nature reserves

• Conservation group: monthly volunteering undertaking seasonal tasks

• Come and Seek: orienteering inspired events and discovery trails

• Come and Chat: open door sessions for refreshments and information

• FOSNR Litterpickers: a friendly litter picking group helping to keep the reserve tidy and welcoming for all visitors and wildlife
