About the reserve

Visit in spring or early summer for birdsong, wildflowers, butterflies. Little owl are sometimes seen in daylight perched on posts, blackcap, whitethroat and garden warbler can be seen in the woods and hedges, skylark nest in the meadows and spotted flycatcher and pied wagtail flit around the old farm buildings. Hedges, which have been coppiced and replanted, provide a great source of winter food and act as wildlife corridors allowing insects, birds and mammals to travel from place to place. Foxburrow was bought with support from The Heritage Lottery Fund. At the end of 2021, farming ceased, and we're working with volunteers, Universities and other organisations to monitor how nature will reclaim the former fields. 

The meadows at Foxburrow are grazed by our livestock throughout the year - and the reserve is our operational base for all of Suffolk Wildlife Trust livestock.
