The £750,000 Biodiversity Boost Project was made possible by a grant from the Species Survival Fund, in partnership with Defra and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, to increase and enhance habitats across the wildlife charity’s Hauxley, East Chevington and West Chevington reserves over the last 18 months.
Both films, produced by Brian Cosgrove and his team from Collingwood Arts and Media College in Morpeth and Helen Walsh, Northumberland Wildlife Trust’s Biodiversity Boost Officer, are available below.
More films about the project are on the Trust’s Biodiversity Boost webpage.
The first film offers an overview of the West Chevington reserve - one of the wildlife charity’s most ambitious lowland recovery sites in the north of England that forms an integral part of the Trust’s fight against climate change. The former opencast mine site consists of conifers, mixed woodland, grassland, and arable land.
