We promote and organise Kirkheaton 20% for wildlife initiative. Our aim is to create a Kirkheaton-wide nature reserve and encourage everyone to dedicate 20% of their land/garden/doorstep to wildlife. We run regular events, meetings and talks and post information on the facebook page. We are an umbrella group involving other local groups so as to be as inclusive as possible.
