in partnership with the Third Sector Renewables charity
This 12-month community-led nature programme commenced in late January 2026. We are focusing our efforts across Hillfields, Foleshill and Willenhall. Our activities are also centred around the River Sherbourne, nearby parks, and various community hubs.
Throughout the year, we will deliver a series of nature connections and practical action events. Our key activities include:
- Monthly nature walks and stewardship days, featuring short, welcoming routes that are step-free where possible.
- River and park litter picks, plus small habitat improvements.
- Installing pocket rewilding and pollinator planters.
- Supporting “adopt-a-planter” care groups to maintain local greening efforts.
- Family-friendly outdoor learning i.e. mini-safaris, bug counts, seed swaps, and eco-crafts.
- Supporting wildlife-friendly allotment features through simple habitat additions.
- Small pick-up, repair, and re-use pop-ups to help reduce waste.
We want everyone to feel safe and welcome in nature close to home. To ensure participation is realistic, our activities can include:
- BSL interpretation and translated materials (contact us if required).
- Routes planned close to bus stops.
- Practical enablers where needed, including transport support and childcare bursaries.
New participants and volunteers welcome. Residents can get involved by:
- Helping design & finalise routes, sites, and timings.
- Joining our resident steering group.
- Volunteering as co-leaders, litter-pick stewards, seed-swap hosts, or planter adopters.
We are using Places by EcoGPX® as a "living map" to document our progress. This free to download app (Apple/Google) allows participants to log location-based media, creating a digital legacy of the local environmental improvements we achieve together.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund (Awards for All) for making this programme possible via the Third Sector Renewables charity. Their generous support allows us to bring these vital environmental and community improvements to life.
Please donate to Intercultural Roots so that we can continue to support the ecology of charities we work with to benefit social and environmental goals. You can donate here or contact us if you would like to discuss leaving a legacy or making a corporate ESG or CSR donation with Gift Aid benefits.
