The Flora of Sutton Park Book Launched

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the launch of the Flora of Sutton Park, a lavishly illustrated exploration of the park's flowering plants, ferns, fungi, lichens and more! The book launch was held in March at the Sutton Park visitor centre and it was fabulous to see so many people out enjoying this stunning new book, a testament to the brilliance of its authors and the beautiful biodiversity of Sutton Park, a botanical jewel in Birmingham's crown!

Edgbaston Park Hotel and Conference Centre is the University of Birmingham’s hotel, and we’re delighted to have been chosen as their Charity of the Year for 2023/24. Having a positive impact on our environment and local community is at the heart of their vision to be a worldleading hospitality destination, and we look forward to working alongside them.

Energy Confidence

Birmingham-based Energy Confidence provide practical energy saving advice to householders and small businesses to reduce energy use in the fight against climate change. They joined us in March as Bronze Business Members to support our work for nature’s recovery.

Natural Rivers and Green Corridors Project Extended

We are delighted to have entered into an agreement with the Environment Agency to extend our Natural Rivers and Green Corridors project for another five years! This will continue our focus on the upper River Rea catchment in south west Birmingham, further restoring the river and its tributaries, and enhancing the green corridors along their banks. You can read about some of the brilliant work recently undertaken at Senneleys Park as part of this project on page 13 of this magazine!
