Organised by

St Nicks is the green heart of York: a centre for nature and green living. The charity started as ‘Friends of St Nicholas Fields’ in the 1990s by transforming a former landfill site into a thriving Local Nature Reserve. We continue to manage it, with the help of many great volunteers, for the benefit of both wildlife and our visitors. We are based at St Nicks Environment Centre which combines many green features. From this base, we run projects, events and services which help to make York more sustainable.
