It is owned by the Little Haven's Children's Hospice, and leased to the Essex Wildlife Trust (EWT).{{cite web|url= http://www.essexwt.org.uk/reserves/little-haven |title= Little Haven Nature Reserve |publisher=Essex Wildlife Trust|accessdate= 27 June 2016}}

This site has diverse habitats of woodland, meadows, scrub and hedges. The main trees are sessile oaks, hornbeams and sweet chestnut, and plants such as wood sorrel and are indicators of ancient woodland. The hedges provide nesting sites for migrating birds such as whitethroats.

There is access to the site by a footpath from St Michael's Road through Tile Wood, a neighbouring EWT nature reserve.
