If you're dropping off players and want to pass the time until kick off, the Stratfield Brake Nature Reserve is just behind the club, with walks through the trees and a wetland reserve for viewing birds & insects.
The trees (planted in the 90s) have grown vigorously, and will in future complement the old wood, that for years has supported a large breeding colony of Rooks, many titmice, and is often visited by Buzzards.
The impressive wetland area, with a mosaic of lakes, shallows and islands, was designed for the Woodlands Trust by the Environment Agency. These have produced ideal conditions for numerous dragonflies and damselflies, and have been visited by unusual birds such as Little Egrets and Green Sandpipers. A group of local naturalists who now monitor developments had recorded 96 bird species throughout the Stratfield Brake area by the end of 2004. They have also fitted 14 nest boxes in the wood, and are planning to introduce more.
