Support for plan to turn former golf course into nature reserve on Nottinghamshire border

Plans for a former golf course on the border of Nottinghamshire top be transformed into a nature reserve have been welcomed. The former Pewit Golf Course site in Ilkeston has been given the green light by Erewash Borough Council to become a new nature reserve.

The site, on West End Drive, Ilkeston, has close links with adjacent nature reserves such as Straw’s Bridge, Manor Floods and Pewit Carr. As well as the nearby Nutbrook Trail which leads to Shipley Park.

The new nature reserve is a part of a rewilding project, which will create new habitats for wildlife, helping nature and managing the site so it eventually can thrive by itself.
