It was purchased by the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust from the Environment Agency in 2011.[5][6] Habitats include tall wash grassland, which is now rare, marsh and waterlogged grassland. It has a wide variety of plant species, including reed sweet-grass and meadowsweet. There are flowers such as fen bedstraw and early marsh orchid. Breeding birds include snipe and water rails.[3] The site also has the endangered Desmoulin's whorl snail, which is in the Red Date Book, together with diverse dragonflies, damselflies, birds, bats, small mammals and reptiles.[5] There are five wooden sculptures by Daniel Cordell, commissioned by the Wildlife Trust in 2012.[2] The Stort Navigation forms the boundary between Hertfordshire and Essex, and the site is on the Hertfordshire bank, but access is by a bridge from the towpath on the eastern Essex side. Access is restricted to footpaths due to the dangerous deep silt on the site. {{commonscat}}References1. ^Thorley Wash Nature Reserve, leaflet published by the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust {{SSSIs Hertfordshire}}{{Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust}}{{coord| 51.8434| 0.1615 |type:landmark_region:GB-BNE|display=title}}2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://dancordell.co.uk/index.php/projects/thorley-wash-nature-reserve/|title=Thorley Wash Nature reserve|publisher=Daniel Cordell|accessdate= 11 March 2015}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url= http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1001867.pdf|title=Thorley Flood Pound citation|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 11 March 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url= http://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx?startTopic=Designations&activelayer=sssiIndex&query=HYPERLINK%3D%271001867%27|title=Map of Thorley Flood Pound|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 11 March 2015}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.hertswildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves/thorley-wash|title=Thorley Wash|publisher=Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust|accessdate= 11 March 2015}} 6. ^{{cite journal|url=http://wardtimes.info/hertfordshire/east-herts/bishops-stortford/news/herts-and-middlesex-wildlife-trust-secure-thorley-wa|first=Ahren|last=Lester|title=Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust Secure Thorley Wash Site for Public |publisher=Bishop's Stortford Town Ward Times|date=28 February 2011}} 3 : Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Hertfordshire|Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust reserves|East Hertfordshire District |
