The Harlow Wildspace! project started in February 2004 and is part funded by English Nature. Its aim is to work with local communities, encouraging greater use and appreciation of wildlife sites. The project also aims to increase biodiversity and the amount of Local Natures Reserves for everyone to enjoy. The Wildspace! project encourages schools, youth groups, communities, and individuals to get more from Harlow's green spaces and have fun whilst doing so.

For more information see the Wildspace! website.
