Marsh Lane Community Nature Area 

We are supporting Eckington Town Council and local community members in  creating a community nature area at Marsh Lane in Eckington  

​

The project started in  February 2022 

 

The aim of this community project is to create an area of enriched biodiversity which also benefits the community as an outside space that will be visited and enjoyed by  people of all ages. The community is currently involved in developing the area.
