Helping Yorkshire businesses recycle more 

The partnership will give our customers across the region a unique solution to offset their indirect Scope 3 carbon emissions by contributing to Make It Wild's tree planting and pond digging projects at several idyllic nature reserves.

Around 150 tonnes of carbon per year is initially set to be offset, with plans to grow the positive impact of the long-term partnership over time.

We're busy making improvements to help more people enjoy wildlife and woodland walks at our nature reserve in Leeds

Big changes are happening at Adel Dam nature reserve as the Trust makes the entrance more welcoming with information and a covered area. Interpretation and wildlife information will be arriving inside the new accessible hide, with friendly nuthatches already a regular visitor.

Karen McDiarmid, reserve manager, said, “We are absolutely delighted with the work so far at Adel Dam, all thanks to generous funding from Biffa Award. It’s a beautiful reserve and a lovely extension of woodlands walks for those visiting Golden Acre Park, so we wanted to make the entrance, paths and hides more welcoming and accessible to our visitors. We’re excited for the improvements that ongoing works will make to our visitors’ experience of the reserve, and we thank them for their patience and following safety advice while we make these changes.”
