Securing the future of Dryham Farm – The Beating Heart of North Cave Wetlands

North Cave Wetlands is Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s fastest growing nature reserve, both in terms of size and visitor numbers. It is also positively teeming with wildlife, providing vital refuge for some of the UK’s most threatened species. Dryham Farm, a 5.10-acre site consisting of 11 buildings, positioned right in the centre of North Cave Wetlands, has come up for sale, presenting us with an unmissable opportunity to secure the future of our reserve and maximise its potential for wildlife, people and for Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. The purchase of Dryham Farm is essential to ensuring that our wildlife is protected from potential harm and disturbance. It will also open-up new opportunities to transform our visitor experience offer and increase the Trust’s organisational resilience. Dryham Farm will become the beating heart of our nature reserve, where the full potential of this remarkable site can finally be realised and maximised for future generations.
