Nature And Landscape

Coalface to Wildspace Yorkshire

This project will achieve landscape scale habitat creation and restoration across seven cities in Yorkshire. In total working at 17 sites creating and restoring 60 ponds and improving 47 surrounding terrestrial habitats for the benefit of amphibians and reptiles and a wide range of other wildlife that rely on similar habitats. Working with under-served communities we will achieve a change in behaviour. To encourage widescale community engagement we will deliver an informative, educational, enjoyable, and inclusive programme of activities. Activities include creating Wildspace Neighbourhood Wildlife Corridors (providing connectivity to the habitat works), setting up Wildspace Guardianship Scheme; installing dipping platforms and delivering Wildspace Amphibian Hop sessions with school children; delivering Wildspace Gardening Workshops; creating a 3D film with film screenings at numerous venues; working with schools to take part in Wildspace Parades; delivering workshops to inform the creation and installation of Speaking Wildspace Statues and delivering Wildspace Festivals.
