Fobney Island Wetland Nature Reserve was opened in 2013 following 2 years of collaborative work between the Environment Agency, Reading Borough Council and Thames River Trust. It is maintained mainly by volunteers through the 'Friends of Fobney Island' who regularly organise nature walks, litter picking, vegetation management and even ecological surveys. Positioned alongside the Kennet and Avon canal right next to Fobney Lock...take a while to enjoy the surroundings and watch the canal boats float by whilst the wildlife carry on their day to day business all around you.
This cache forms part of a series called Holybrook Hounds in collaboration with our great geo buddies the loc8tors, all placed along a walk we frequently take with our pack of geohounds (lovingly referred to as ‘the Beagle Boys and their Bitch’)
The cache contains just the log and due to its size, a pair of tweezers may be useful to extract the log.
