Projects to transform an ex-golf course for nature, rewild a village and restore Ice Age “ghost” ponds are among schemes being launched to boost wildlife.
The Wildlife Trusts coalition has unveiled 10 new projects across England and Wales, which also include restoring arable fields to heathland, improving wildflower meadows and quadrupling the size of a nature reserve to help a rare butterfly.
The trusts have raised almost £8 million since launching a campaign to drive the recovery of nature across 30% of land by 2030 six months ago, including £900,000 from the public.
The effort to boost the recovery of nature, to reverse declines over recent decades, is backed by broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough, who said that “if given a chance – nature is capable of extraordinary recovery”.
