Two Tree Island is a 640 acre site which was reclaimed from the sea in the 18th century when a seawall was built around the saltmarsh, the enclosed area being used for rough grazing and subsistence farming.
The saltmarsh has a good range of plants including Sea Purslane, Common Sea-lavender, Sea Arrow-grass, Common Saltmarsh-grass and Sea Aster.
The mudflats support dense beds of Eel-grass and also provide food for thousands of wildfowl and waders. Brent geese overwinter on the shoreline. Waders such as Curlew, Dunlin, Redshank and Grey Plover can also be seen in significant numbers.
The reserve is also a good habitat for a number of insects including the three species of carder bee, butterflies including Marbled White, Small Skipper and Essex Skipper.
Birds such as Green Woodpecker, Kestrel, Short-eared Owl, Skylark, Meadow Pipit and Fieldfare can all be seen. Slow Worms, Adders and Common Lizard can also all be found.
During the winter, Kestrels hover over the grassland and Short Eared Owls visit, hunting for field voles.
Avocets are also known to nest on the island.
To avoid disturbing the birds, please keep strictly to the marked footpaths.
There is a car park immediately over the bridge at N51 32.230 E000 37.778
