Now researchers from the University of Sheffield are testing an innovative new tracking system at Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust’s Ughill Farm, which could transform how we study these remarkable insects.

From breeding birds to elusive insects, the data our volunteers collect directly guides how we go about restoring habitats and processes at Ughill Farm

Winter conservation work at Ughill Farm has created new wetlands, ponds and wildlife habitats, supporting nature recovery and Living Waters efforts.

Nature-friendly farming boosts habitat resilience to climate change and provides refuge for wildlife as dry weather presents challenges elsewhere

A lot has happened in the six months since Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust took full ownership of Ughill Farm, an important Peak District location for many nationally threatened wading bird species.

On 8th May a group of forestry students from the University of Cumbria visited the Trust’s site at Ughill Farm to consider how woodland creation could be designed on a landscape scale and how this might be balanced with a working hill farm.

Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust are encouraging everyone to ‘unite for nature’ by supporting the family friendly ‘Restore Nature Now’ demonstration in central London.

Thanks to your support, Ughill Farm is safe!
