Make It Wild receives recognition for ecological work at the Northern Enterprise Awards in 2024.
The group started back in 2010. Since then, they built many nature reserves across northern England. Each reserve is a safe space for wildlife, boosting biodiversity.
Christopher Neave co-founded the group. He sees the award as more than just recognition, highlighting their work and encouraging future projects. He affirmed their community engagement strategy.
Their plan involves working with local groups, and businesses also help expand their conservation work. The award motivates them to keep going, planning new projects to improve nature and enhance the region’s health.
The group plants trees to make forests and also revive wildflower meadows. Plus, they work to expand wetlands. Each project suits the local area to ensure the best results for biodiversity.
The group wants others to help them: communities, businesses, and individuals can join in. They want those who love nature to collaborate, working together to create more green spaces and boost ecological strength in the north.
