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.
