As part of our work in Bordon, East Hampshire in the early 1980s, our first ever Environmental Officer/Ranger worked with local schools and the wider community to establish a wildlife area, starting with creating a wildflower meadow.

Despite a mixed reception from some residents at the time, the area (Deadwater Valley) is now a thriving local nature reserve, with 12 different habitat types and 38 hectares of green space.

It is managed by Deadwater Valley Trust, available via this link.
