Outside body

Farlington Marshes Wildlife Reserve was established in September 1962.  It was the Hants & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust's first reserve.  In 1970, Portsmouth City Council purchased the site and declared it a nature reserve in 1974.  The Trust continued to lease the land.

The Management Committee's purpose is to keep under review the management plan for the area and to deal with any policy issues arising which fall outside the general terms of management for the marshes.
