Sheffield Wildlife Trust ran a series of events and guided walks over the spring and summer as part of the Burngreave’s Hidden Gems project.
People took part in guided walks around the woods and parks, including Crabtree Ponds Nature Reserve, Osgathorpe Park and Little Roe Woods. Residents discovered mysterious creatures on a guided bat walk in the summer and bird walk in the spring. There was also family fun dipping in the pond catching newts, and working with the Jeevan Project creating bird boxes.
Young people from Ellesmere Youth Project have also worked with local artist Jason Thompson designing a new woodland bench for the nature reserve. It is currently being carved and will soon be on site next to the pond. Come down and see it!
