Reaching
out for Wildlife in Bolton!
Make
Bolton a great place for people and wildlife!
The
Lancashire Wildlife Trust, with support from the National
Lottery Reaching Communities Fund, is running a three
year project to benefit the people and the wildlife
in Bolton. We are enabling communities to grow organic
produce, create and maintain habitats and find out
more about local wildlife.
There
are opportunities to take part in accredited training,
volunteering, wildlife surveys and lots more! Please,
come and join us!
Schools
Our
aim within this project is working with schools empowering
them to set up gardening/wildlife groups to learn
about nature, to create wildlife habitats, to grow
plants and to maintain green spaces in the school
grounds.
We
offer:
- Free
officer time to help with relevant projects, including
making food growing or wildlife areas.
- Funding
advice for creating wildlife and food growing areas.
- Project
work with pupils creating bird stations, bird feeders,
minibeast areas, wildlife meadows, bulb and tree
planting, growing flowers and vegetables in containers
and many other projects.
- Training
parents, teachers and interested people in the community
about how to maintain and enhance their wildlife
areas in the school grounds. We can also offer visits
on inset days to help teachers link their outdoor
resources to the curriculum.
Community
Our
aim within this project is to promote and support
local wildlife conservation and organic growing by
providing people with the skills they need to contribute

wildlife.
