Listen on

Episode notes

The Essex Wildlife Trust are working with the local community in Tendring to help get small local projects up and running to improve habitats for wildlife.

With funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Nextdoor Nature will provide people with the advice and support they need to help nature on their doorstep, and leave a lasting natural legacy to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

In Jaywick, volunteers in the local community are improving a small park area with a pond by clearing litter, reducing algy in the water and making better habitats for the wildlife on this part of the Essex coast.

Adam Nixon from the Essex Wildlife Trust and Bradley Thompson who is the Chair of the Jaywick Sands Community Forum joined Owen on the sea wall near in Jaywick to explain more about the work they are doing as part of the Nextdoor Nature initative.
