Biodiversity and nature conservation
Conservation in Luton is managed through the Parks and Countryside Service. We partner with The Wildlife Trust to deliver works locally.
A great deal of conservation work is done by volunteers from the community, who are managed by The Wildlife Trust or the Parks and Countryside Service.
