Further Description
  • The Barn Owl Centre has re-located to Netheridge Farm Latest News addition dated 28th March 2008: Due to the settling in period for us & our birds we are now pleased to announce that all flying activities & photographic days will commence from the 6th April 2008. It took our birds a little longer than anticipated to adapt to their new environment.Re-location news from the Barn Owl CentreDated of re-location: Friday, Sunday, 02 March 2008We have now re-located the whole of our charity to our new site: Our new address details & contact number can be found below & throughout our website. Our old number 01452 865999, this will be diverted to our new number for a period of 12 months. All post sent to our old address will be re-directed by Royal Mail.New address details:The Barn Owl Centre.Netheridge FarmNetheridge CloseHempstedGloucesterGL2 5LENew Telephone Number 01452 383999No changes to our email, website updated outlining our new contact details.The purpose of re-locating was simply because the Brockworth site was too small for us & the birds we have in our care, re-locating supports the expansion of our aims & objectives in the field of Education, Conservation & Bird Welfare.The new location at Netheridge Farm (images below) boasts many redundant buildings, all in need of repair. In addition the Farm as fields that cover an area of 12½ acres, future plans will be to create an Environmental Centre for Gloucestershire with the improvement of on-site habitats conditions to attract more wildlife to the area.  A section of land close to the aviaries where our birds are kept will be allocated as a flying field.The Netheridge site is much different than we had at the Brockworth site; at Brockworth we only had an area of 3500sq ft, too small to accommodate the expansion of our charity. All in all, moving is a big step for us as a charity for which we would like to thank those who support us.It is important to note that our new address will only be open to pre-arranged visits until we have created a visiting Centre we have dreamed of, pre-arranged visits will include an array of activities, nest box sales & rescue work. A proposed Visitors Centre is in the planning stages & should be open in the future.If you have any queries or questions regarding our move please do not hesitate to contact Vincent Jones (Centre Director/Trustee by telephone: 01452 383999.This is a positive way forward & with your support we can achieve a special place for all to enjoy & appreciate.A big thank you to everyone who supports us.The Barn Owl Centre
