WildDerby is about positive action for wildlife in Derby, for the benefit of local people.

The partnership includes organisations such as Derby City Council, Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, BTCV, Groundwork Derby & Derbyshire and many local groups.

We work together because wildlife in the city matters.

For details of what WildDerby is up to this year, visit our Let’s go wild in Derby web page.  On this page you’ll find a variety of free events taking place, led by local groups, to help you enjoy wildlife locally.  They are also a fun way to improve your health.

Although much of the land in the city has been developed, around a quarter remains open and un-built on. We call this Derby's urban countryside.

Derby City Council is committed to properly balancing the protection of our urban countryside with the need to allow for new homes and jobs. This commitment to Derby's natural heritage forms a key part of the Council's Environmental Policy which seeks to protect and enhance the natural heritage we have now for the enjoyment of future generations living and working in Derby.
