Across the Ulverscroft Valley and surrounding land, wildlife depends on connected habitats hedgerows, grassland, woodland edges, ponds and streams. When these features link up across boundaries, they work better for nature and for the land itself.
The Corridor Club helps landowners recognise the ecological value of what they already have, and shows how small, practical management choices can strengthen wildlife corridors without changing how land is used.
This is not about rules or prescriptions. It’s about sharing knowledge, building confidence and working together so individual actions add up to a stronger, more resilient landscape.
Whether you manage a farm, an estate, a large garden, or a smallholding, the Corridor Club offers clear guidance, local examples and a straightforward way to get involved.
The Corridor Club is a local, landowner-led project for landowners who want to better understand the ecological value of their land and explore practical ways to manage it for the benefit of wildlife and long-term resilience.
To increase biodiversity and improve the special habitats within the project area, with a focus on connecting habitats across landholding boundaries.
To develop a friendly and supportive network through social events and guided walks, encouraging neighbouring landowners to join the project and enabling the sharing of skills, experience and information.
To empower landowners with knowledge of local flora and fauna, and with practical skills to manage land in ways that conserve and restore the habitats they depend on.
To work at a landscape scale with farmers and landowners to enhance the visual amenity and landscape character of Charnwood, including the reinstatement of natural or historic features and traditional boundaries associated with the area.
The Corridor Club wishes to acknowledge and thank the support from the Charnwood Forest Geopark, the National Forest Company, Leicestershire County Council and the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust.
