Nature Reserve
 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.
There 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.
