Amwell Quarry Nature Reserve is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and is internationally important for wildfowl. It has been transformed into one of the key sites in a chain of interconnecting wetlands stretching from Hertford for 27 miles to the Thames. It is managed by the Hertfordshire and Middlesex Wildlife Trust, who applied for a Biffaward grant to carry out important work to restore the wetlands and create new habitats.

 

In 2007 local Wythenshawe residents took on a demanding and fantastic urban greening challenge to transform Nan Nook Wood into a safer, more accessible community green space and thriving wildlife habitat.

 

  Through its Main Grants Scheme, Biffaward was pleased to support this two year project to restore an important ancient woodland in mid-Bedfordshire.
