Derbyshire Wildlife Trust is excited for the year ahead as partnership looking to boost recovery of wildlife in the Trent Valley reaches key phase.

Back in March last year, the Government announced that Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust was set to receive £875,602 funding support to lead an ambitious partnership to enhance, restore and create vital wildlife habitats in the Trent Valley.

Project partners include Canal & River Trust; Derbyshire Wildlife Trust; Gedling Conservation Trust, Nottingham City Council; RSPB; Severn Trent Water and Trent Rivers Trust.

The Thriving in a Wilder Trent project was set up to enhance existing habitats and create new areas of habitats to benefit a range of species from common terns to bitterns and otters across the Trent Valley.
