are taking a lead role in Mansfield District to improve
wildlife habitats.
The Nottinghamshire
Biodiversity Action Group has the responsibility for overseeing
and monitoring the Nottinghamshire target habitats and species, of which a
significant proportion are located in Mansfield District.

Wildspace! Funding from 2002-2005 to carry out this work and are reporting on
progress to English Nature, the local steering group and the MASP Environment
