A bit about the Nature Reserve

Miller's Pond is one of Southampton's oldest and most diverse Local Nature Reserves. It covers almost under 20 acres. Sholing Valleys Study Centre has been working as a charity since Since 1988. We have two main objectives. We conserve Miller's Pond Local Nature Reserve, and educate the public about the wildlife found here.

Upcoming Events

Spring Fayre: Our biggest event of the year

Our date for 2025 is Saturday May 17th, and is set to be a fun day out for all the family.

There's lots to enjoy! From having a go on the bouncy castle, learning about nature from local conservation groups, or trying a craft activity. All whilst helping us raise much needed funds.

Monthly volunteer conservation experiences

Come along on the last Friday or Sunday of the month and learn about how we can help support nature.

Tasks include a range of activities that all help improve the site. From litter picking, and tree planting, to hedge laying training.

We want our volunteers to learn something new, and enjoy themselves.

Naturewatch club

Last Sunday of the month:

Children aged 4 to 11.

Naturewatch encourages children’s interest in nature through fun craft activities and learning.
