Green Guardians – Valley Road Water Meadows

Valley Road Water Meadows is a valuable green space in Nottingham, shaped by water and rich in wildlife. The meadows and wetland habitats support a wide range of species and play an important role in flood management, biodiversity, and providing a peaceful natural space within the city. Join Nottingham Green Guardians to help care for this unique site and support its ongoing management.

What to expect: volunteers will take part in ranger-led conservation and practical maintenance tasks focused on wetland and meadow management. Activities may include vegetation management, scrub control, path and site maintenance, litter picking, and seasonal habitat work. All activities are guided and suitable for all abilities.

We provide: tools, spare PPE, and refreshments. Please wear sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing, and bring a drink to stay hydrated.

Time: 10am (sessions last approximately 2–3 hours)
Meet at: Details shared on booking
Meeting point: We will be meeting at the gate between the bowling green and the eastern end of the wetland. This can be accessed either from Ribblesdale road or Valley Road.

Parking: Limited on-street parking is available nearby. Public transport is recommended where possible.

You are welcome to turn up on the day; however, we encourage you to register as a Green Guardian on our website and sign up for the event in advance so our Ranger knows to expect you.
