Welcome to Lower Moss Wood

Lower Moss Wood is a private educational nature reserve and wildlife hospital. It provides a place for schools, disabled visitors, environmental groups and others to come and learn about conservation and the environment. The wildlife hospital takes in orphaned, sick or injured wild animals or birds for treatment and care. Please note unfortunately due to current legislation, we are unable to take in squirrels, muntjac deer and mink.

Press Release 2024-10-30

Statement from Board of Trustees on behalf of Lower Moss Wood:-

As our supporters will be aware, this year has been particularly difficult for the Charity and fundraising is a continual struggle. We have been transparent with our supporters and volunteers that there is a real risk to the future of the charity in the coming year.

We were recently approached with what appeared to be a generous offer to support fundraising from Mini Off Rovers Ltd. This came at a much needed time for the Charity.

An event took place in September and a further event for Halloween over half term. Unfortunately the event on 31st October cannot proceed as advertised. We remain however delighted to welcome anyone with a proof of purchase and originally scheduled to come to Lower Moss Wood on the 31st of October where we will do our usual best to educate and entertain, despite the driving experience being unable to be fulfilled.

For legal reasons we cannot provide any detailed commentary. However we reassure our supporters that the Trustees and Staff of Lower Moss Wood uphold the highest standards, will always onward report where we believe appropriate and will always act if they feel the Charity needs to be protected and its reputation preserved.

We are saddened that means there will be disappointed visitors to the event organised by Mini Off Rovers Ltd but this is not something we have control over and have done all we can to avoid such a scenario to no avail. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.

We also reiterate our plight, now more than ever we need your support if the charity is to continue in operation.
