Details

The Jersey Biodiversity Centre (JBC) is a charitable organization dedicated to collecting, managing, and disseminating a comprehensive database of local wildlife species records, encompassing both terrestrial and marine life. This information is crucial for informed decision-making and safeguarding Jersey's natural environment. The Centre actively works to strengthen the community's connection with nature, enhance understanding and knowledge of local wildlife through various initiatives like talks, courses, and workshops, and empower islanders to contribute to the protection of their natural world through participation in biological recording.

The JBC plays a vital role in supporting research, informing management decisions, and contributing to environmental policy and legislation. They encourage public participation in submitting plant and animal sightings, which provides valuable data on the state of nature in Jersey. The Centre also collaborates with various partner organizations to promote biodiversity and conservation efforts across the island.

Great little natural reserve, you can enter the hidden compartment and check out the wildlife, try spot birds etc. Nice visit.

We stopped at The National Trust for Jersey Wetland Centre as it was the end of our walk from La Corbière. It looked rather unassuming from the outside, but walk through the door and it’s a very impressive setup. There are a range of different hides to watch the wildlife, all set within an old bunker. There is plenty of information, and a live camera feed too, which allows you to zoom right in on the many different birds and animals at the site. It’s small, but really worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Great for bird watching and seeing Marsh Harriers coming in to roost. Lots of info about birds to be found at St Ouens Pond and other info about this part of the island. Good for all age groups. Free entry

The Wetlands is a large natural pond and reeds where you can see an interesting mix of birds. It is opposite Sands on the Five Mike Road. You can park at Sands or buses stop outside. There is a cafe with toilets at Sands. You enter into an education centre that also acts as a hide, give excellent views over the Wetlands. There are many migratory species to be seen in Autumn and Spring and a detailed World map showing where the birds have come from and how far. Late May or early June you can also walk through the wild Orchid fields further along towwards Frances Le Sueur Centre, which are ablaze with colour.
