Young people will play a key role in converting a brownfield site into a community nature reserve over the next three years.

The 2-ha 'Grow Wilder' site on the edge of Bristol is part of Avon Wildlife Trust's Intergenerational Action for Climate and Nature programme. The initiative recently secured £870,000 from the National Lottery Community Fund, with organisers aiming to use the funding to transform the area for nature.

Connor Meadows, a youth officer involved in the project, said the group of 13-18 year olds leading the transformation is "really engaged with nature."

He said: "They're also going to be working with the local community to learn the history of the land and what it meant to people and wildlife in the past and use that information to decide what its future looks like."
