Wildlife Conservation

Through innovative projects we are working with local organisations and engaging the public in citizen science to collect and collate data on key species and habitats across our nature reserves and Sheffield as a whole.

Through innovative projects we are working with local organisations and engaging the public in citizen science to collect and collate data on key species and habitats across our nature reserves and Sheffield as a whole.

Our More Data for Nature project is a Heritage Lottery-funded initiative which will help the Trust understand biodiversity trends across a landscape scale. This project was launched following the successful completion of the Data for Nature project which helped the Trust understand the wildlife and habitats on our nature reserves in more detail, helping us respond to one of the key recommendations of the Sheffield State of Nature report – to address gaps in the city’s ecological data.

The Sheffield Lakeland Landscape Partnership is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of its national landscape partnerships programme and is  a unique opportunity to work on a landscape scale with a common vision to create a more connected and resilient landscape for people and wildlife.
