Barrow’s Wildside connects communities with their local green spaces to turn underused and neglected land into better places for people and wildlife.
Community gardens, redundant land, woodland, parks, cemeteries, under-used playing fields and allotments are some of the places we want to see thrive. And with the help of local people we can make Barrow and Walney Island an urban haven for wildlife.
If you live in Ormsgill, Hindpool, Central, Risedale, Barrow Island and Walney North you will have a chance to develop your skills by taking part in volunteer action days and learn about wildlife days. In fact, there will be lots activities for everyone such as family events, training, conservation work parties and surveys, practical workshops, walks, and an annual celebration event.
As Barrow’s Wildside develops you can take part in our activities, which we will publicise here on our website.
Barrow has some amazing and unexpected green spaces that are fantastic for wildlife. It also has some wonderful nature reserves.
