Coalface to Wildspace, Midlands

What is the project about?

Coalface to Wildspace, Midlands is an exciting project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the West Midlands Combined Authority. The project is focusing around neighbourhoods across Walsall from 2022 to the end of 2025.

There has previously been very little focus on reptile and amphibian conservation in this region, so this project is raising awareness through public engagement, improving habitat through community interventions, and bringing attention to local natural and geological heritage.
