Stafford Brooks
A partnership project connecting the town's waterways and wetlands
Stafford Brooks is a partnership project with Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, National Highways, Stafford Borough Council, and The Environment Agency. Working together, this partnership will create havens for wildlife to flourish. It will improve connectivity between habitats creating a nature recovery network and help to alleviate flooding. It will also provide residents better access to their local rivers and green spaces across multiple sites.
