Nailsea Environment Wildlife Trust (NEWT) manages Moorend Spoutnature reserve, located off Pound Lane to the north of Nailsea. It is well known locally for its natural beauty, provided by the Alder carr, and with the additional attraction of a constantly flowing waterfall. This is a particularly valuable wildlife habitat: low lying and water logged, which is traversed by a well-used public footpath.Lying halfway between Tickenham and Nailsea, the six acre reserve has access from public footpaths in Pound Lane, Nailsea, and Stone-edge Batch in Tickenham. Volunteer work mornings are held on the first Saturday of each month.
