Gedling Conservation Trust manages and protects Netherfield Lagoons Local Nature Reserve, one of the most important wildlife habitats in the Gedling area. The reserve provides a safe haven for birds, insects, plants and many other species, and is enjoyed by visitors throughout the year.
Unlike many organisations, the Trust receives no government or local authority funding, which means we rely on donations and support from the local community to continue our work.
Your support helps us protect this unique nature reserve for wildlife and for future generations to enjoy.
