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.
