Well. after a series of nervous checks of the weather forecast and will-we-won't-we decisions the 2022 Open Day went ahead as planned. The afternoon was very well supported by the local community. There were a number of activities for all ages, talks by local experts and a guided walk around the Reserve. The weather was not too kind - especiallly to the volunteers who were up bright and early to set up the marquees and tables - but the Steeple Woods supporters are a hardy bun

Well before the Reserve was created the, then derelict, land was home to a local character - affectionately known as Nokka.
