Formed from the now closed landfill site, Newgate Nature Reserve is a fine example of how industrial land can be returned to nature.The tip closed in 2000 and has quickly developed into a complex mixture of open grassland, scrub, newly developing woodland and wet areas along drainage ditches, giving the whole site a rich biodiversity.
Help the Bollin Valley Partnership Rangers, and our friends from Mersey Rivers Trust, to coppice some trees from the site and make dead hedges. All equipment is provided but please bring gloves and wear sturdy boots as the terrain is rough.
