About this event

Travel & Outdoor • Other

Leading renewable energy company, Ørsted, is partnering with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust to launch Wilder Humber - an ambitious five-year programme to restore marine habitats and species throughout the Humber estuary, a large tidal estuary on the east coast of northern England, and one of the busiest and fastest-growing trade routes in Europe.

The iconic Humber estuary is also one of the most important natural features and conservation sites in the UK. These habitats are critical for marine biodiversity. Seagrass provides rich nursery habitats, breeding and feeding grounds for a vast array of marine species including shore crabs, juvenile flatfish, bass, brent geese and other wading birds.

We need a team of volunteers to help us restore 30 hectares of lost seagrass meadow at Spurn Point.

If you have any further questions please contact us at: wilder.humber@ywt.org.uk
