Cambridge Preservation Society acquired the Wandlebury Estate in 1954. Threat of housing development coincided with the Estate coming onto the market, and thanks to the generosity of the owner, Mr Terence Gray, and all who subscribed to the 'Save the Gogs' Fund, the Society was able to purchase outright the remaining parts of this 110 acre estate.
With its beautiful woodland and chalk grassland areas, it is open to the public for quiet recreation from dawn until dusk, every day of the year. The Society has embarked upon an ambitious educational programme to encourage visits from families and school groups, and has recently built a new Education Centre. There are also a range of activities at Wandlebury that you can get involved in: Third Saturday of the month: Volunteer Days Meet at the main notice board and help the Rangers carry out various conservation tasks. No experience necessary, all ages welcome (under 16's must be accompanied by an adult), please dress according to the weather and be prepared to get a bit mucky! You will also need to bring a packed lunch. 10am-3.30pm. Monday 2nd May: International Dawn Chorus Day Meet at the Education Centre at 4.30am for a walk with the Rangers to listen to the birds as they welcome the rising of the sun.
