Friends of Brislington Brook

Friends of Brislington Brook is a group of volunteers that cares for Nightingale Valley and St. Anne’s Woods in East Bristol. Brislington Brook runs through both nature reserves before flowing into the River Avon.

We work to protect local wildlife and encourage the community to use these valuable natural spaces in the heart of the city.

Upcoming events

BBC Radio Bristol’s Steve Yabsley meets the Friends of Brislington Brook, to chat about the preservation of this much-loved nature spot.

Wildlife

Nightingale Valley and St Anne’s Woods are home to a rich variety of plants, wildlife, birds and insects. Find out about our conservation projects and how you can help.

Join us!

We run regular volunteer sessions in St Anne’s Woods and Nightingale Valley. They’re a great way to get out into the parks, do some good and make new friends along the way!
