Urban Wildlife Champions

Our vision of a Wilder Essex cannot happen without grassroots, community-led action. We need people to take the lead and champion nature. Our Urban Wildlife Champions are a vital part in helping us to achieve nature’s recovery by restoring, reconnecting and protecting our green, blue and brownfield spaces in our cities, towns and villages.

Working with Urban Wildlife Champions

Urban Wildlife Champions are people in our cities, towns and villages that are taking action for wildlife in their local community. They are people who have a community-led, grassroots project idea and want to be part of our wilder Essex vision. The Trust is working with champions, providing resources, connecting champions with each other, celebrating and promoting their work.
