Nature Corridors

Do you live on a proposed Nature Corridor?

Nature corridors are a chain of gardens and green spaces that help birds, hedgehogs, bees, and other wildlife move safely between larger habitats. They benefit people too by cleaning the air, soaking up rainwater, calming traffic, and improving mental well being. Here in Alwoodley, places like Adel Woods, Eccup Reservoir, and Wigton Moor Park are thriving pockets of nature. By linking them through our neighbourhoods, we can help reverse Yorkshire’s steep decline in wildlife (Yorkshire Wildlife Trust) and make our area nicer.

Together, every small patch helps rebuild a richer, healthier landscape for nature and our community.

Here’s how to join:

Use our interactive map to check if you live on or near one of our corridors.

Waterway (Pond & bog garden) corridors

Yellow lines mark the Leeds Habitat Network.

If you live on or anywhere near one of the corridors, please sign up to help out. You can help by in all sorts of ways, big and small. The sign up form will ask you how you’d like to be involved.

Those who live along our 1st Target corridor are eligible to receive a free bundle of materials to help you create a 1 x 1 sq metre wiildflower meadow!

Bundles will be ready from 23rd February to support you to prepare your wildflower meadow in late February / Early March. If you’ve signed up above, we’ll be in contact with you to make sure you get yours! Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll receive.
