Introduction

The Friends of Fulbourn Nature Reserve was set up in Spring 2000. The aim of the society is to promote enjoyment of and care for the Fulbourn Educational Nature Reserve. The reserve is one of the finest small nature reserves in Cambridgeshire, combining several distinct habitats in a small area and playing host to many rare species of plant. There is woodland, wetland, scrub and meadow. Much of the meadowland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and has never been ploughed or subjected to herbicides, pesticides or fertilisers.

The reserve is owned by the Townley family, the owners of the Fulbourn Manor Estate. The Estate has established permissive footpaths through the area. The reserve is managed by the Cambridgeshire Wildlife Trust.
