Nene Park Trust is the registered charity that cares for Ferry Meadows and the wider Nene Park estate.
Since 1988, we’ve been here to protect these green spaces for the long term – conserving wildlife, celebrating heritage, supporting biodiversity, and promoting health and wellbeing through sport, leisure and cultural activities.
Take a look at our latest projects. From our work with communities and partners in the city to creating new wildlife habitats and improving our spaces, there is always so much going on to make life better for everyone.
