Rewilding Stockport
What is Rewilding Stockport?
Rewilding Stockport is a two-year project delivered by Cheshire Wildlife Trust and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. We are looking to create a thousand spaces for nature across Stockport over the next two years, but we can’t do it without you!
Do you want to plant wildflower seeds, make a hedgehog hole, put up a swift box or transform a wasted space? Check out our downloadable brochure for tips on all this and more! It's your indispencable making your neighbourhood more wild!
What will we be doing?
Rewilding Stockport is about empowering residents like you to turn Stockport into a community-based nature reserve: a mosaic of 1,000 new spaces for wildlife and people, embedding nature into the fabric of our town. We want you to use, enjoy, improve, and reclaim your local green spaces.
What is a community nature reserve?
A community nature reserve isn’t any old nature reserve – it isn’t just one space. It is a diverse mosaic of green spaces that provide homes for our wild plants and animals, like wildflowers, birds and hedgehogs, whilst making local people feel happier and healthier. It's a network of window boxes, balconies, gardens, parks, road verges and school grounds, where people are welcoming wildlife into their outdoor space. Put together these spaces are transforming Stockport into a thriving urban wildlife haven - that's a community nature reserve!
