Wilding. Education. Community.
This Field - only four miles from Nottingham City Centre - was once the site of open cast mining, and then intensive agriculture. For a long time it has served humans.
Now, we want to bring local people together to help it work for wildlife, through micro-wilding.
So far, we have planted hundreds of trees, sewn a wildflower meadow and dug two ponds - everything we can to create our own eco system!
In time, we hope this site will be a haven for every sort of life. But there is lots of work still to be done, from planting trees to building bat boxes and hedgehog houses.
But it is not just wildlife we care about. We want people to learn about nature, and feel its restorative power. Learn about our events via the Get Involved page.
If you want to get involved, or are interested in bringing a group to us, please get in touch!
We are a family team living in Strelley Village.
