Natural History Group visit to North Cave Wetland.

North Cave Wetlands is positively dripping with wildlife, whatever the time of year. Boasting a mixture of shallow and deep-water lakes with wide margins and islands, reedbeds, grassy banks and meadows, hedgerows and wooded fringes, this still-expanding reserve was once part of a huge marsh called Wallingfen. Having been turned over to agriculture and then quarrying, it’s now returning to its former glory – and nature is responding in both numbers and diversity.

North Cave is run by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust
