🌳Here are a few highlights from our year of conservation in 2025!

⭐ A massive thanks to the Tame Force volunteer team for all their hard work.

🍪 Of course, Tame Force are 'compensated' with tea and biscuits during work days... as you scroll through can you guess which was our most popular biscuit purchase this year? So much so that admin was the TOP buyer in the local Sainsburys...

Now is the time to have your say on a new strategy designed to help nature and wildlife flourish across the county.

Working with the Warwickshire, Coventry, and Solihull Local Nature Partnership, we have developed a draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for the county. We are now asking for feedback on the draft, which outlines key priorities for nature recovery and identifies where on-the-ground actions will be most effective.

The strategy – a requirement of the 2021 Environment Act – will be used by local authorities to inform planning strategies and incentivise habitat creation. It aims to create a more resilient network for nature across Warwickshire by targeting actions to areas where they will have the greatest impact. The LNRS will cover the five districts and boroughs of North Warwickshire, Nuneaton and Bedworth, Rugby, Stratford-on-Avon, and Warwick.
