The main purpose of the Netherfield Lagoons is to serve as a Local Nature Reserve managed by the Gedling Conservation Trust. The site is designated to protect its importance as a wildlife conservation area and to maintain its biological diversity.
The Trust aims to maintain the biological diversity and interest of the site, ensuring the future of the reserve. They are seeking funds to support their conservation efforts and are open to taking on other sites within the borough with wildlife interest.
The exciting new project for 2024 is to create Floating Plant Islands at the lagoons. These islands will encourage a balanced ecology above and below the waterline, providing habitat for small animals, fish, insects, and rare waterfowl that visit the site.
Individuals can donate towards the project to create Floating Plant Islands at the lagoons. Any amount contributed will be greatly appreciated and will help support the conservation efforts at the reserve.
Monthly bird counts are held at the lagoons, providing an opportunity for birdwatchers to monitor the site's bird species. Beginners can join experienced birders to learn about bird identification and enjoy the diverse birdlife present at the reserve.
