Over the past few years, we’ve been bringing positive change to Clayton Vale, a much-loved natural space within the beautiful Medlock Valley. Together with local people, we’ve improved habitats, built practical conservation skills, and helped more people grow in confidence while reconnecting with nature.

Now, we’re inviting you to be part of the next chapter!

The Wild About Clayton Vale project is an exciting opportunity to get involved, make a real difference, and help us take this work even further. By volunteering with us, you’ll help to:

  • Boost local biodiversity
  • Restore and protect vital habitats
  • Deepen our community’s connection with the natural environment
