Welcome to the Chelmer Blackwater Reserve website. This land has been saved from development and our non-profit community interest company aims to manage and improve it as a wildlife reserve with public access.
The site, known locally as the Ironworks Meadow, has historical significance to Maldon and parts have been undisturbed for decades, making it a perfect location for the creation of a nature reserve. A great variety of species of birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals frequent the site, as well as many invertebrates.
We have some grand plans for the site over the coming years and require YOUR help. We are looking for volunteers to help on work days and with management roles as well as financial support from both businesses and individuals.
Access to the land will be provided to the public but above all it will be managed as a nature reserve.
