Presenting the Ladywell Fields Nature Recovery Plan on Saturday 1 August 2026, 10am - 1pm

Ladywell Fields is recognised as a Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation.  We are now presenting the Nature Recovery Plan for Ladywell Fields 2026-2036 to highlight great opportunities to make the area even better.  

The Plan sets out strategies and actions for the next decade for more biodiversity and ecological health in Ladywell Fields.  Download your copy (25 pages) here.   

The more engagement is generated by the Plan, the more weight it will carry with stakeholders and funders.  

Please start your engagement by completing our brief survey (three questions).
