Harlow Wildspace!
The Harlow Wildspace! project started in February 2004. The project was part funded by English Nature until August 2006. Harlow Council have pledged to continue the work of the project.
Its aim is to work with local communities, encouraging greater use and appreciation of wildlife sites.
The project also aims to increase biodiversity and the amount of Local Nature Reserves for everyone to enjoy.
The Wildspace! project encourages schools, youth groups, communities, and individuals to get more
from Harlow's green spaces and have fun whilst doing so.
