Our Reserves:
Kenn Moor

______

Kenn Moor Reserve comprises two fields. In December 2020 the smaller field near the road was planted with 14 standard apple trees to create a small traditional orchard. The larger field is used for rough grazing and is wet, attracting overwintering birds such as Snipe and other waders.
