Conservation
Managing the Nature Reserve is guided by the Plan set out by an ecologist appointed by Derby City Council.  
Twice a year the Friends group walk around the Reserve with the ecologist to assess how well it is meeting the recommendations in the Plan.  Various tasks are undertaken to improve the site for wildlife, such as tree planting, scrub clearance, hedgelaying and pond clearing.  These tasks are carried out by members of the Friends group, corporate teams and Derby Parks Volunteers.  

Some areas of the Nature Reserve are managed under Natural England's Higher Level Stewardship scheme.  As part of this scheme, sheep and cattle come and visit the site to undertake conservation grazing.  They are a very welcome attraction!

Pavilion Cafe

Each Saturday a team of trained volunteers from the Friends of Sinfin Moor Park opens the Cafe at the Pavilion from 10:30am to 2:00pm, serving a range of refreshments including:    

Bacon cobs    Cheese cobs    Toasted fruit loaf    Chocolate bars    Cakes    Crisps    Sweets and Ice Lollies    Hot and Cold Drinks

All of these are at very reasonable prices.

The Cafe is a great place to drop in and meet friends/make new friends!  Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

All proceeds go to improve the Park and Nature Reserve for people to enjoy and nature to flourish.
