S.P.A.W.N is a local wildlife conservation organisation aiming to protect and educate about local wildlife and space for nature in the community.
Our ethos as an organisation is defined by the three Cs:
1. Community: we aim to inspire, educate and foster new connections between local people, neighbourhoods and the natural world
3. Conservation: we aim to highlight and protect our wildlife, flora and fauna, and the natural habitats we are lucky to have on our doorsteps in Darcy Lever
4. Collaboration: we enjoy working with others and forging relationships within the community and all groups and individuals working towards a common goal; protection of our natural spaces and the life they contain.
We meet Fortnightly on Sundays between 11.00am and 1.00pm.

The project is ongoing and we are working on behalf of the council to make improvements all the time.
