This shot of Image Nature Reserve clear shows the poor sandy soil that saved this land from disappearing under the plough. The heathland habitat can only be maintained by active management, or else scrub and finally woodland will take over. The Backwarden is owned by the National Trust and managed by Essex Wildlife Trusthttp://www.essexwt.org.uk/visitor_centres__nature_reserves/danbury_ridge/
