Pop's Wood Nature Reserve

Across the Island, more and more people are recognising the need to protect the breathtaking landscapes that make this place so unique. That’s exactly what Pop's Wood Nature Reserves are all about.

Led by Head Warden Phil Sard and Custodian Imogen Baden Powell, this inspiring initiative is turning small pockets of land into thriving natural sanctuaries—places where both wildlife and people can flourish. But it’s not just about conservation; it’s about connection. These spaces are designed to be welcoming, peaceful, and accessible to everyone.

With picnic tables shaded by trees and squirrel hides perfect for a quiet bit of wildlife spotting, each reserve offers a rare blend of calm, discovery, and natural wonder. They provide a meaningful way to enjoy the Island’s wild side—and a powerful reminder of why we must protect it.

Holy Trinity’s Connection
As a proud mission partner, Holy Trinity works alongside Phil Sard to support the long-term vision for Pop’s Wood. Our shared goal is not just to protect these beautiful green spaces, but to spark a deeper appreciation for the natural world around us.

Together, we’re encouraging more people to visit, learn, and engage—from studying local wildlife to understanding the importance of conservation and the care it requires. This partnership is about building a legacy of stewardship, education, and community involvement that will last for generations.
