GedlingConservationTrust

Gedling Conservation Trust (GCT) is a dedicated nonprofit organization established in 2005, focused on the stewardship of the Netherfield Lagoons in Nottinghamshire, which became a vital Local Nature Reserve following the closure of Gedling Pit. The Trust plays a crucial role in maintaining the area’s rich biodiversity, actively managing a diverse ecosystem that hosts numerous species of birds, mammals, insects, and plant life.

The GCT offers guided walks and monthly bird counts, allowing nature enthusiasts of all experience levels to engage in wildlife observation and identification. They also have exciting projects underway, including the creation of Floating Plant Islands to enhance habitats for aquatic life. GCT relies on community support and fundraising efforts, as they receive no government funding, to continue their conservation efforts and expand their initiatives.

With a commitment to environmental protection and education, Gedling Conservation Trust not only preserves ecological balance but fosters a deep appreciation for nature among visitors and volunteers alike. Join them to help safeguard this invaluable resource for future generations.
