Passionate about conservation

A small team of rangers and volunteers work throughout the year to look after Wyre's delicate landscape and habitats, tending to woodlands, meadows, sand dunes, heathland, moorland, saltmarshes, freshwater wetlands, ponds and riverscapes.

Ecology Days Held mainly at Wyre Estuary Country Park, the courses are organised by the Royal Society of Biology (RSB) and supported by Wyre Rivers Trust, Wyre Waters Catchment Partnership and Wyre Council. Visit page 35 to view a list of our 2022 ecology days and find booking information.

Their work helps to preserve important green spaces which provide places for people to get closer to nature, and to improve their health and wellbeing. These spaces also help to capture and store carbon and make space for water.

Beach Cleans Help us to improve our coastal environment and tackle a global problem by coming along to one of our regular beach cleans! Groups are situated all around the coast and you can find full details for each one on page 52.

From our beautiful green spaces to our vast coastal stretch, every individual action we take locally can have a far reaching impact. One of the best ways you can make a real difference is to come along to some of our conservation events, beach cleans and ecology days, where you can not only help look after the local environment, but also learn more about nature and understand why it is best left undisturbed. 12

Conservation Days We run a variety of conservation days throughout the year, where you can come along to help to manage woodlands, upgrade access points, maintain public rights of way and much more. Visit page 51 for dates and information.
