WildPlay has been running child led nature based play in the community for 25 years. Our community programme is based on the premise that play should be free and accessible to all. To enable this we work with many organisation and groups including town councils, the library services, children's centres and visitor attractions such as Eastnor Castle.

We are delighted to announce our programme connecting children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) to nature through nature based play and new experiences has secured £17,815 from the National Lottery Community Fund to continue the great work for another year.

Herefordshire Wildlife Trust is dedicated to managing it's 60 Nature Reserves across Herefordshire enabling nature to thrive. The Trust is also involved in many projects to enhance tree planting, the quality of our iconic rivers, and improve habitats for a broad range of species by focusing on working with land owners to establish wildlife corridors and connected landscapes. We also deliver education through Wild Play to increase the number of young people in the county accessing the outdoors and learning through nature. We support communities to take action for nature in their local areas with a network of Herefordshire Wildlife Trust Branches, campaigners and a number of engaging and nature focused events. We are a member and volunteer charity and we couldn't do what we do without the generous contributions from our supporters that enable us to continue to protect wildlife in Herefordshire.

From Zero waste stalls, to community larders, to community orchards, there are many places in Herefordshire reducing the impact of food waste and production on our rivers.
