Wind & Sun own and manage the Humber Marsh Wetland Nature Reserve in which our premises are sited. This 13 acre wetland nature reserve & environmental education centre was set up in 1988 and we took over in 1997.In order to minimize disturbance to both the marsh and wildlife the land is made accessible by a network of purpose built walkways and paths linking together the different habitat features and hides.  This allows the majority of the land area to be left 'fallow' so wildlife is undisturbed.

The reserve is a valuable oasis in a highly cultivated agricultural area which is taken advantage of by wildlife and wild flora in many shapes and forms.  There are several distinct habitat areas at Humber Marsh, the most extensive being the marsh itself.



Nature Reserve in the summerThere are  ponds, some of which are linked by a waterway; a disused railway embankment, which has been colonised with woodland and grassland species; different types of hedgerow; some young woodland and a wildflower meadow.
