Friends of Kings Norton Nature Reserve (FKNNR), Birmingham
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:
Bat Night - Kings Norton LNR - 26th June 9.30pm Onwards.
Take a look at the nocturnal inhabitants of this LNR. Meet at Burmans Drive entrance opposite Wychall Park Grove. Please wear suitable warm clothing and bring along a torch. Booking Essential. Phone number: 0121 447 7106. This list may be changed at short notice, please check before setting off.
