It is with great sadness that I write to advise you all of the passing of our Head Warden, Alan Butler. He passed away peacefully last night after suffering a stroke.

Alan was “Mr Carrs” and a familiar face to all who visited our site and met him walking his dog, feeding the ducks or carrying out odd jobs around the Reserve. He will be sadly missed for his cheery smile and constant efforts to keep the Carrs in tip top condition.

It is our task now as a group of volunteers to rally round and carry on his good work and keep his memory alive by preserving the Carrs as a special place of peace and tranquility.

RIP Alan x
