What is the Warrington Nature Conservation Forum?
The forum was formed as part of the AGENDA21 initiative in Warrington. Membership is open to local groups and individuals interested in the advancement of nature conservation in Warrington. The forum’s aims and objectives are:
- To involve local people in decision making on matters affecting their natural environment
- To assess Warrington’s natural wealth through supporting surveys and recording
- To support the protection of biodiversity and sustainable development
- To encourage improved site management of existing sites and encourage the creation of new natural landscapes and habitats
- To raise public awareness of issues that affect the natural environment
Can I join the forum?
Everyone is welcome to attend the general meetings the forum holds four times a year. It is an excellent opportunity to meet other people interested in local wildlife and find out about a wide range of topics and issues affecting the natural environment. The work of the forum is co-ordinated by a committee. For more information please contact:

Wildlife watching in Warrington
Thanks to everyone who joined in with the summer visit to Houghton Green pool. This SINC site was re-surveyed to provide more upto date habitat and species information. The pool is going to be one to watch over the coming year as United Utilities begin water extraction in the area again.
