The project for 2010 involved surveying the fauna and flora of the four monads covering the Coton Countryside Reserve and the neighbouring farm owned by Les Bradford. Our survey records [Updated 2010 September]  include around 370 flowering plants, and a variety of other species.  A report on the 2010 survey was published in Nature in Cambridgeshire in 2011. The monthly reports of the visits are in the Coton Countryside Reserve 2010 Diary.

We returned to the Reserve in 2020 with the new traditional New Year’s Day visit and another in March. Reports of these are in the Coton Countryside Reserve 2020 diary.

Further information about the Reserve from CPPF.   There are a number of open access walks in the area.
