Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust
We will buy hundreds of plants and trees to create wetland and woodland habitats around the River Stour, making homes for many species and helping to store carbon in the fight against climate change.
About this cause
We've been protecting, restoring and creating wild spaces in Birmingham and the Black Country for over 40 years. By managing nature reserves and delivering habitat improvement projects, we work for nature's recovery by increasing biodiversity and allowing nature to thrive. Through education and engagement we also inspire local communities to learn about how to care for their local wild spaces.

How this cause brings people in the community together
'Love Your River Stour' is a community-focused river restoration project working to restore the River Stour by improving and creating habitats, tackling pollution and inspiring local people to connect with nature for health and wellbeing benefits, and learn about the wildlife that the river supports. Local community groups will be involved in creating these new woodland and wetland habitats.
