Chapelfield Nature Reserve, Bury

25.08.2023

Great to see Chapelfield mentioned in The Bury Times last week 🙂

As soon as work starts on site, we’ll let you know. The work has been made possible with funding from the Greater Manchester Environment Fund who are committed to helping communities improve their local, natural, environment and we’re thrilled to be working with them on this project.

Great news – funding for the project has now been secured from the Greater Manchester Environment Fund, and the work is currently going through the tendering process. We’re hoping that contractors will start on site before the end of this year, but we’ll keep you updated here – so do check back for new updates 🙂

There’s still time to let us know what you think about the plan for improving Chapelfield Nature Reserve. You can click here to complete the short survey: Chapelfield Survey.

It only takes a couple of minutes to complete, but it would be great to get your thoughts. Suggested changes include footpath improvements, installing a boardwalk over boggy areas, treating Japanese Knotweed, removing debris, planting fruit trees and work to make the entrances more welcoming to visitors – but you might have some ideas of your own.

Thanks to everyone who has already responded. Keep checking back here for updates.

We now have a plan for improving Chapelfield Nature Reserve. You can click on the image below to enlarge the picture and take a look at all the potential changes. Suggestions include footpath improvements, installing a boardwalk over boggy areas, treating Japanese Knotweed, removing debris, planting fruit trees and work to make the entrances more welcoming to visitors. It would be really helpful for us to get your thoughts about the proposals before the plan is finalised. You can do this by completing this very short survey: Chapelfield Survey. It only takes a couple of minutes to complete, but it would be great to get your feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to help with this – we’ll be in touch again in the new year to confirm next steps.

Chapelfield Nature Reserve is a lovely spot serving communities in Radcliffe and Whitefield. All natural spaces need a little management from time to time to ensure the nature there can thrive and people can fully appreciate its potential and diversity. Over the coming year or two we will be working with Bury Council to identify areas of improvement such as footpath improvements, woodland management and debris clearance. If you are interested in this project please feel free to get in touch.
