Cheshire's Wild Network
With 1 in 6 species now at risk of extinction in the UK, wildlife is in crisis. Our natural world has never mattered more, which is why we must come together to help reverse the decline.
But there is hope! Across the Cheshire region, a rapidly growing movement of people just like you are stepping up to protect our environment. This community of people who want to see wildlife recover are called the Wild Network.
That’s where you come in.
Whether you are an established group or you’re looking for ways to get involved, then you can benefit from becoming part of the Wild Network. We understand that taking action for nature takes time and dedication, which is why we offer a variety of training workshops and resources. These are designed to help you grow your confidence and make an even bigger difference for wildlife in your local area.
By joining the mailing list, you’ll stay up to date with everything happening across Cheshire and gain priority access to workshops and talks. You’ll also become part of a supportive community of like-minded people through the Facebook group.
Let's bring wildlife back together.
What has the Wild Network been up to?
Communities that are part of the Wild Network are already achieving amazing things across Cheshire. From fighting developments, to forming community groups and adopting wasted spaces. Together they are building a Wilder Cheshire.
