April 9th - National Day of Action for Nature & Green Spaces - Saturday 18th April 2026
To support the above, BAG will be holding a planting event in and around the Wildlife Pond on Bradway Village Green. We aim to turn this area into a welcoming space for all; birds, animals, amphibians, invertebrates and people!
Please come along; we shall be there from 10am until 12.00 midday. We would be grateful for any NATIVE plants you are able to contribute. If you are not sure whether plants you have are suitable, please do get in touch.
If you wish to donate plants but are unable to come to the event, please let us know via the website or Facebook and we can pick them up if required.
There will be some children’s activities – hook a duck, (not in the pond!), and a nature quiz. There will be a small charge with all proceeds going to Phase 2 of the playground restoration. Please bring cash.
Sheffield City Nature Challenge 2026
The Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust are inviting people to help record wildlife across Sheffield between 24th and 27th April, as we compete with cities across the globe to count as much wildlife as possible!
The City Nature Challenge is an annual global competition between more than 700 cities all over the world to see how much wildlife their citizens can spot over the space of four days; and this year is the first time Sheffield will be taking part!
The best part is, you don't need to be an expert. All you’ll need to do is take and upload photos of wildlife in your garden or local area to the Nature Counts database. Every sighting will help push Sheffield up the live global leader board.
Whether you spot bees on your balcony, lichens on a wall or birds in the park, every record helps to track species and protect local wildlife for the future. You’ll be helping to build a clearer picture of nature in our city while enjoying some fresh air and discovering what lives around you.
March 29th - Brown Bins - From April, residents can continue recycling glass, tins and plastic bottles in their brown bin and will also be able to add plastic pots, tubs, trays, aerosols, foil and cartons. Later in the year, households will be able to request a second brown bin if they want one, and larger households can also ask for an additional blue bin.
All homes will receive their new blue bin by the end of 2026. Anyone who wishes to can keep their current 140 litre blue bin as a storage container. Any unwanted bins will be reused or recycled.
Collection cycles remain unchanged. Weekly collections will continue. Black bins are collected every two weeks and recycling bins every four weeks.
Further information about these service changes and a new bin collection calendar will be delivered through letterboxes citywide before the end of March.
March 29th - A "Bounds of Abbeydale - St John’s Parish Walk" will take place on Monday 25th May 2026 – meet 10.00 a. m. at Dore & Totley Station. It will cover a distance of about 5.5 miles, and is hosted by BAG, in conjunction with the Friends of Dore & Totley Station.
