Sholing Valleys Study Centre was set up to preserve the Miller's Pond Local Nature Reserve and to educate the public about this unique environment and the wildlife that can be found there. Spanning around 20 acres, Miller's Pond is Southampton's largest and most diverse Local Nature Reserve. Since 1988 Sholing Valleys Study Centre has been working as a registered charity to preserve Miller's Pond and its surrounding areas, whilst educating the public about this unique environment and the wildlife found here.
