Launched
in April 2002, Stoke-on-Trent’s Natural
Heritage Strategy provides a vision for
conserving the City’s natural heritage –
its wildlife habitats and geological features.
The Strategy aims to inform decisions made by
the City Council, land owners, developers and
other organisations by providing guidelines to
protect, manage and enhance important sites
(such as Berryhill Fields and Park Hall
Country Park), habitats (such as woodlands and
heathlands) and species (such as water voles
and bats). In addition, the Strategy also aims
to raise people’s awareness of the wealth of
natural heritage in Stoke-on-Trent and
encourage involvement and enjoyment.
The Strategy was produced by a partnership
group made up of the City Council’s
Environment Team, the Potteries Museum &
Art Gallery (Natural History section),
Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and BTCV. As the
result of a widespread public consultation
exercise, the final document has also
incorporated the views of a cross-section of
over 50 interested groups and individuals.

Heritage Strategy, please contact the City
Council’s Environment Team on 01782 236680
