These full day projects include replacing stiles with gates, vegetation clearance, bridge building and more.

Gib Hill Nature Reserve community group

Gib Hill Nature Reserve has recently been designated as a Local Nature Reserve. For this Reserve to continue to improve and enhance our area, we need members of the community to come together support it. A range of opportunities are available.

Come along to our introductory meeting on Wednesday 18 September at Nelson Town Hall (Wilson Room) at 6pm.
