From quarry to wildlife haven
Fifteen years ago, Brockholes began an incredible transformation from a former sand and gravel quarry into the thriving nature reserve it is today.
Now, wetlands, woodland and meadows provide a home for wildlife, while thousands of people visit every year to walk, explore, learn and connect with nature.
Whether you're inspired by Brockholes' remarkable story or looking for more family adventures outdoors, becoming a member is one of the most powerful ways you can help protect places like this for generations to come.
Join before 31 August at 4pm to enjoy 15 months of membership for the price of 12.
