Centenary Riverside Urban Wetland Nature Park 2

This project will turn a very basic engineered flood storage lagoon (created as part of Rotherham’s flood defences) into a biodiverse, attractive, varied and engaging nature park for the use of local people as a recreational, educational and community resource, as well as a place that makes a significant contribution to the Rotherham Local Biodiversity Action Plan and a number of regional and National Plans. This new Urban Wetland Nature Park will be created on a 4.5 ha former industrial site adjacent to the River Don, in central Rotherham and will incorporate specific features for a number of priority habitats and species.
