News & Updates...

A selection of community events and conservation activities from March, showcasing the diverse ways the Sherbourne Valley Project engaged with volunteers and local groups. From tree planting and litter picking to educational talks and creative photography sessions, these events reflect our ongoing commitment to nature restoration and community involvement.

In March 2025, we will be carrying out restoration works in Charterhouse Heritage Park with approved contractors. The project aims to re-naturalise the River Sherbourne which flows through Coventry, improving it for nature and for local communities. There will be several elements to this particular restoration project, all of which will have a positive effect on the river and surrounding area in both short-term and long-term scenarios.

Through interactive activities, wildlife exhibits, and discussions, the project engaged with young communities and promoted nature conservation and sustainability.

In November 2024, we will be carrying out restoration works in Lake View Park with approved contractors Ecolibrium Environmental Contracting Ltd. The project will have multiple elements, including on-river and off-river restoration, which will improve features for people and nature.
