Our Dee Estuary
The Our Dee Estuary project was completed on the 30th of June 2025. As a National Lottery Heritage Funded project, Our Dee Estuary will live on through the Dee Estuary website and the work of the communities of people throughout Flintshire, Denbighshire, Cheshire and the Wirral who will continue to care for Our Dee Estuary.
If you would like to know more about what the project achieved, the wildlife and habitats of the Dee Estuary and what to see and do when visiting then please visit the Dee Estuary website created by the project, with thanks to National Lottery players.
About the project
Our Dee Estuary was a Tidal Dee Catchment Partnership project designed to inspire coastal communities on the Wirral and in Flintshire & Denbighshire about the natural heritage of the Dee Estuary. Led by Cheshire Wildlife Trust and supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The project aimed to
- Make the Estuary a greater part of more people’s lives and a better place to live, work and play.
- Work with local communities, visitors and partners to ensure our natural heritage is better managed and recorded.
- Raise awareness of the habitats and wildlife along both sides of the Estuary.
- Empower local communities to reduce environmental impacts and offer training and life-long learning.
