The Friends of Kings
Norton Nature Reserve are registered as a charity (number 1122293).
We act as an informal pressure group to lobby for environmental
improvements in and about the reserve, and we provide a focal point for
local consultations on future developments by the City.
The Friends include an active group of volunteers who work to improve
the amenities and ecology of the site. In collaboration with the City’s
Parks Rangers they organise and participate in:
Tuesday WorkOuts and other events:
