Award-winning pasture open in winter months

As published on The Archer, December 2023

The volunteers who run Long Lane Pasture, the nature reserve situated opposite the fire station on Long Lane, are continuing to keep it open to visitors from 10am to 12 noon on Saturday mornings through the winter months. This is the time when many of them are there keeping it well maintained and new volunteers are always welcome to join the working party.

It has been an excellent year for the pasture team, who have won their 12th Green Flag Award in a row from the environment charity Keep Britain Tidy.

Long Lane Pasture Trust Chair Donald Lyven and Harriet Duffield, Barnet Council's Biodiversity & Conservation Officer, travelled to Southampton to collect the award.
