Pop’s wood nature reserve

This beautiful little nature reserve is in Bembridge along Love Lane. It is quite small but full of wonderful things to see .

You can sit among the trees and watch and listen to the wildlife it is peace and quiet and the perfect place to relax and recharge your batteries. There is a box where people leave seed for the birds..so help yourself and scatter the food and watch especially as its will soon be nesting time and around the site are many nest boxes.

The site is named after Peter Baden Powell by his daughter Imogen, The small piece of land was up for auction to be built on but Imogen brought it for the community and it is maintained by volunteers.

“Pop” was a volunteer in the navy in WW2 and survived three sinking ships .He was also on the beach for the D day landings ,He later worked in the South of England speaking Norwegian and other languages. He also served in Malaya for 12 years .
