River Sherbourne Valley Living Landscapes Green Places Users

Introduction

By completing this survey you are contributing to making positive changes to the city.
Warwickshire Wildlife Trust is preparing to submit an application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for the River Sherbourne Valley Living Landscape scheme. The scheme is designed to reconnect the people of Coventry with the River Sherbourne and restore it for wildlife.

We have already received funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for this Development Phase, for which we are most thankful! We now need to understand more about how people view the river, its wildlife, its history and how important it is to local residents.
As the scheme moves forwards, we will want to stay in touch with how the community is feeling and hear what you have to say, so expect to see various opportunities to speak to us, online and in person, including more surveys!
Thank you for your thoughts.

Best wishes, the team!
