Gowy Meadows Reserve This is the Trust’s largest reserve. It has records of over 100 species of birds, and is home to water voles and other small mammals, with the hope that otters could return. It also has some very rare aquatic invertebrates and plants, and is good for dragonflies. The Trust manages the reserve by grazing with traditional breeds of cattle and by managing the water levels.
