This attractive
reserve is part unimproved grassland and part woodland with Staggs Brook
running along its southern border. There are three access points [Greenfields
Rise and two near the canal] which are linked by a figure-of-eight path
through the reserve. A guide is available from Whitchurch Library, Whitchurch
Heritage Centre or can be downloaded by clicking here. The reserve
is manged by a team of local volunteers in conjunction with Shropshire
Wildlife Trust’s conservation department. Practical management working
parties are held monthly, usually on the third Tuesday and run from 9.30 am –
3.30 pm. The date of the next working party can be checked on the home page. Greenfields
Local Nature Reserve is being extended up to the road at Greenfields Rise.
This new section is to be called Staggs Meadow and our volunteers have been
busy with fencing it so that, like the rst of the reserve, it can be grazed
by Dexter cattle. P Parking and meeting place for activities at
