Wild Towns

ERDF Wild Towns project

The ERDF Wild Towns Project is led by GWT, but it is a project like no other and will create, connect and enhance green spaces for wildlife across Gloucestershire.

Not only is it working to make not one, but seven towns in Gloucestershire a little bit wilder, it’s also supported by a brilliant team of partners, including Severn Trent Water, Severn Rivers Trust and Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group South West (FWAG). The project is generously funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and a number of other funders.

We're creating wildflower meadows, managing woodland, creating wetlands, planting native trees and shrubs, removing barriers for fish migration and creating refuges and habitats for key species such as bats, owls, water voles, reptiles, fish, butterflies and other invertebrates.
