About the reserve

Eashing Fields is a SANG (Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace) and is managed on behalf of The Land Trust.

The site has been created from farmland to enable visitors to walk and relax in beautiful surrounding along a 2.4km trail. With views over the local landscape, seating for relaxation and a variety of grassland, heathland and woodland features, the site provides a perfect place for a short stroll.

As this is a newly created reserve, the flora and fauna will develop over time, so  please share your sightings! However, the meadows are developing nicely so look out for common knapweed, oxeye daisy and yellow rattle in the summer months.

The hedgerows will develop to create both a food source and shelter to birds and small mammals. The planted trees will take time to grow but with eventually improve nesting opportunities for birds. The creation of deadwood piles will encourage invertebrates and a further food source.

It will be fascinating to see how this site matures!
