Friends of St Nicholas Fields
The Friends of St Nicholas Fields (charity registered no. 1068909) promote sustainable living. We have transformed a former landfill site in York into a Local Nature Reserve and Environment Centre. From this base, we provide inspiration, advice, practical examples and services to enable people in York and beyond to move towards a sustainable future.
Our three core activities are:
- Continuing to improve St Nicholas Fields as a Local Nature Reserve, enriching its biodiversity and habitats and enhancing its educational and recreational value for the local and wider York community.
- Developing the Environment Centre at St Nicholas Fields as a source of information, advice and inspiration with practical examples of sustainable design and ways of living.
- Developing projects and services such as recycling and composting schemes, which help to create sustainable communities.
Let us know. You can help in any or all of the following ways:
- Volunteer: There is always some work to do around the nature reserve or in the office and there are enough jobs to suit everyone.
- Become a Friend: Membership costs
£2 per year and entitles you to receive regular mailings
(newsletters mailed out in March, July and November plus occasional irregular

meetings and have your say in our decision-making. The Friends of St Nicholas Fields meet up every third Thursday of the month at 7:30 pm at
the Centre and Annual General Meetings usually take place in the last
week of July.
