Yorkshire Wildlife Trust has transformed a stretch of land sandwiched between the M18 and an industrial estate near Doncaster into a wildlife haven with help from LNER.<\/p>\n

Parson\u2019s Carr Nature Reserve, a 104-hectare site of former arable land, is now home to a thriving and diverse range of insects and mammals.<\/p>\n

Thanks to funding from the LNER Customer and Community Investment Fund (CCIF), Yorkshire Wildlife Trust has been able to introduce 650 metres of hedgerow and establish a new wildlife corridor which will support insects, birds and animals like dragonflies, marsh harriers and brown hares.<\/p>\n

Three new ponds have also been created, along with new grassland and crops, which will support birds such as turtle doves, yellowhammers, and grey partridges.<\/p>\n

The new habitats introduced at Parson\u2019s Carr not only support local wildlife but the community too. Through the LNER funding, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust has been able to offer seasonal nature walks for visitors, as well as install benches and interpretation panels at the site, allowing more people to access the area.<\/p>\n
