The Friends of Old Sneed Park Nature Reserve
A secluded piece of countryside, a wildlife haven, in Sneyd Park, Stoke Bishop, Bristol, within three miles of the city centre.
We carry out conservation work, organise talks, guided walks and activities for children. The community involvement is very important to us as we celebrate 25 years of the reserve.
