[edit] Rowhill nature reserve
Rowhill nature reserve is a nature reserve that straddles the border between Farnham and Aldershot. It is linked to the Rowhill area, by name, but does not form part of the Rowhill ward.[1] The source of the River Blackwater is located within the nature reserve.[2]
The reserve includes a field centre which is open in the afternoon on Sundays and Bank holidays.[3]
The nature reserve is owned by Rushmoor borough council and is maintained by a group of volunteers from the Rowhill Nature Reserve Society.[2] The society received the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in 2011.[4] While the reserve is owned by Rushmoor borough council, it was declared a Local nature reserve by Waverley borough council in 1983.[5]
