EcoPark, Birmingham – creation of the community hub

EcoPark is the Wildlife Trust’s environment centre in Small Heath, East Birmingham. It is a fantastic resource for the people who live in that area and can access this unique space to learn about nature and also for The Trust who run projects and train volunteers there. The site is well used by the local community. Hundreds of families attend the holiday activity programme and the Trust welcomes over 8,000 pupils every year.
Currently facilities on site are very basic and there is limited indoor space which limits use of the site by schools and the community, in particular in the colder months. This grant will support us to build a new classroom and community hub which will allow EcoPark to be used all year round by more people.
