Blackburn Meadows is an inspiring place to visit, set amongst the industrial dereliction and regeneration initiatives of the Lower Don Valley. Once part of Tinsley Sewage Farm, the sewage lagoons attracted large numbers of migrating and wading birds. When the management regime changed and the lagoons began to dry up, local birdwatchers stepped in to create a haven for birds, invertebrates and other wildlife. Many years on, Sheffield Wildlife Trust works with other partners to provide an

environmental education service and to conserve this haven for nature. Dragonfly sculptures, stone bird hides and the unexpected beauty of the site all make Blackburn meadows and place for people to enjoy. Contact:
