Butcherlands

UK Wildlife Trusts

Butcherlands Nature Reserve is a reclaimed arable land in East Sussex, currently undergoing conversion back to woodland. The reserve aims to create a wood pasture habitat through natural regeneration and low-intensity cattle grazing, fostering a diverse landscape that integrates with the adjacent Ebernoe Common. Visitors can explore this free-to-access area, which thrives on the support of its members. Wildlife enthusiasts may spot grey squirrels, particularly active in December around midnight. While sightings data is limited, the reserve's developing habitat promises a range of wildlife as it matures. Visiting during the winter months may yield the best opportunities to observe these charming creatures in their natural setting.
