our voluntary work

Working with local wildlife organisations we have set up Nature Recovery Days. These introduce students to practical ecology whilst providing opportunities to enhance local wildlife and address the biodiversity crisis. Nature Recovery Days are open to all staff and students and are particularly geared towards BSc Climate, Sustainability and Environmental Management students, applying ecological skills gained on the course.

​

Recent activities have included woodland management, wildflower meadow enhancement, drystone walling, and water vole habitat creation and  surveying. Students can attend one-off days or become Nature Recovery Leaders, where they support the planning and coordination of regular tasks and enhance their employability skills, endorsed by partners such as the Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust.
