  1. Stirley is an inspirational place which is bringing back wildlife to our landscape, and working with local people to achieve healthy living and a healthy environment in this corner of Huddersfield.

    The reserve covers 240 acres of land which was once intensively farmed. Since taking on ownership in 2011, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust has restored an old barn into an excellent education facility (the Cre8 Barn Education Centre), developed a thriving food training garden, planted an orchard, introduced bee hives and provided conservation training to a whole host of young people. It's a great place to showcase how wildlife-friendly grazing methods can benefit the landscape and involve the community.

    Areas of Stirley are grazed with a traditional breed of cattle, and a hay cut is taken later in the season to help encourage more wildlife into the fields. We are carrying out grassland restoration work across this urban fringe nature reserve, which will continue to increase the number and diversity of flowers, insects, birds and mammals.

    Explore Stirley via a network of public footpaths 7 days a week. Also please see our website for details of activities and events.
