CambridgePPF has worked hard over the last ten years to enhance land at Coton Countryside Reserve – a green space and working arable farm that can be enjoyed by members of the public, free of charge, all year round. The team has created new wooded areas, planted hedgerows, restored hay meadows and is developing an orchard in a corner of the 300-acre site. Sustainable farming practices are encouraging wildlife to the area and new routes have been established to give walkers, joggers, cyclists and horse riders access to the reserve. There is even a hilltop picnic area with beautiful views across to Cambridge.
NB: This is a free event but there is a recommended donation of £3.00 adult / £2.00 children. For more information please contact: bookings@cambridgeppf.org or call 01223 243830 extension 201.
