Beale Park was set up initially with conservation of the site itself very much in mind. Church Farm is a 350-acre organic farm, which is managed under strict control in order to maximise its conservation value. There are now whole areas that are directly related to conservation. The breeding of rare & endangered birds, a 40 acre Community Woodland called Tookie Wood, and has placed most of its land in the Countryside Stewardship Scheme.

Beale Park is actively involved in both conservation and breeding projects for indigenous and exotic birds and animals. For example there is a project concerned with the breeding of water voles, an endangered species, designed to build up a colony, which will then be released into the wild. Tookie Wood is community woodland that has been developed since the mid 1990s. Permissive paths and trails are available for the public to enjoy.

For events at Beale Park, with free river trips, arts and craft stall, activities for kids even live music. Or simply sit back and watch traditional craftsmen building boats on site. For full information please visit the Beale website:
