Sheepcote Street Nature Group
Sheepcote Street Nature Group is a passionate group of friends and neighbours bringing nature into the heart of the city, transforming courtyards and planters into vibrant spaces full of life and biodiversity. Over the past two years, the group has been working hard to encourage birds and insects to colonise their local courtyards, planting their first tree in neglected planters along Sheepcote Street and building relationships to keep improving the local streetscape and environment. As group member Fran Elder explains: “We’re working to improve the spaces along Sheepcote Street in terms of biodiversity, encouraging birds and insects to colonise our courtyards. Neighbours have been commenting on the planting we’ve developed over the last two years, which is really gratifying after Covid left many residents feeling isolated. It’s lovely to see people enjoying the spaces we are creating.” A great example of how a small but dedicated group of local people can make a big difference right on their doorstep!
