Farm to become 'beacon of hope' nature reserve
A former dairy farm in North Somerset is being converted into a climate-resilient wetlands and nature reserve by the Avon Wildlife Trust, following a £5 million grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The 44-acre site will be transformed to support diverse wildlife, including bats, newts, and wading birds, and will serve as a model for nature recovery and climate adaptation. The project aims to demonstrate how land can be restored to benefit both the environment and local communities.
