Close to Nature, Close to Home

Are you one in a million? Have you visited Cuttle Brook Reserve in the last 30 years? If so, check out the new, free exhibition at Thame Museum celebrating three decades of Thame’s very own nature reserve. And if you haven’t yet discovered Cuttle Brook Reserve, come along to find out what you’ve been missing. We can even guarantee that you will see the reserve from a totally new perspective, courtesy of Rubicon Drones!

More than one million visits have been made to the reserve since it was first declared in 1993. If you are one of those visitors, have you noticed how much has changed since it was first opened? This exhibition of photographs and memorabilia colourfully illustrates just how Cuttle Brook has developed. What is today a towering woodland, was a school rugby field just a generation ago. Where there were once agricultural fields, there are now wildflower meadows riotous with colour in early summer. Ponds have been dug, wetlands re-watered, trees planted and bridges built, and all by a group of volunteers – people like you.

The exhibition at Thame Museum, opposite The Thatch at 79 High Street, is open now and runs until 16 December.
The Museum is free to enter and is open on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
