Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust is a charitable non-governmental organisation,[1] covering Sheffield and Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. It owns or manages 15 nature reserves[2] with its base in Sheffield.[3]
The Trust was originally formed in 1988 as The Sheffield City Wildlife Trust and created to preserve a section of green space adjacent to Ecclesall Road now known as Sunnybank nature reserve. Over time the Trust have grown to the position where it now owns or manages fifteen nature reserves across Sheffield and Rotherham. From ancient woodland and moorland to meadows, wetlands and more, the Trust has saved some of South Yorkshire’s most special places from destruction.
Blackburn Meadows was previously managed by the Trust. In 2019 the Trust reported, 'Blackburn Meadows is owned by Sheffield City Council and not in the Trust’s control. We are working the Council to find a long-term solution to managing this site.'[4]
