Bradford Urban Wildlife Group
Recording, observing and protecting Bradford wildlife & habitats
Welcome to BUWG
About Us:
Established in 1987, the group exists to promote interest in and conservation of wildlife and habitats in the Bradford area.
A good example of our work is the creation and maintenance of a butterfly meadow on land at Shipley station, carried out in partnership with the Yorkshire Branch of Butterfly Conservation. Read more about us.
Coming Up - Our Next Event:
Indoor talk: Annual Christmas Photo Competition
Thu 18th Dec, 19:30-21:15 – Kirkgate Community Centre, Shipley
(W3W – dust.flops.libraries)
This always proves to be a very popular evening as we get to see some beautiful photos submitted by our members. The emphasis is not necessarily on quality, more on entries that emphasise the nature that we can find in our local area. It is nice to hear the back story behind each one and also, there is a chance for the audience to have their say. Please make sure that you get your photos submitted before the deadline on 30th November 2025 by emailing them to photocompetition@btinternet.com.
