Hassall Green Nature Reserve

A former landfill site and then tip for demolition waste until the 1980s, Hassall Green was safely remediated by the landowners, Hays Recruitment, in 2013 before the Land Trust took on ownership the following year. 

Due to its historic uses, this 2-hectare site is regularly monitored for any environmental risks, and so is not freely open to the public. However, Hassall Green is a cherished community hub for local volunteers, who have hugely contributed to enhancing the space for people and nature, where you’ll now find a huge range of flora and fauna. The site is also one of the flagship sites for the Land Trust’s environmental training programme, Green Angels.
