Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust is a charitable non-governmental organisation, covering Sheffield and Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. It owns or manages 15 nature reserves with its base in Sheffield.
Nature Reserves
The Trust was originally formed in April 1985 as The Sheffield City Wildlife Group and created to preserve a section of green space adjacent to Ecclesall Road now known as Sunnybank nature reserve. Other practical conservation projects included Crabtree Ponds, Roe Wood and the creation of the Five Weirs Walk in Sheffield. Following its incorporation as one of the Wildlife Trusts of England, Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust has grown to the position where it now owns or manages fifteen nature reserves across Sheffield and Rotherham. From ancient woodland and moorland to meadows, wetlands and more, the Trust has saved some of South Yorkshire’s most special places from destruction.
