London Wildlife Trust’s most urban reserve has been has been shortlisted in the conservation category of this year’s Observer Ethical Awards.

The judging panel were looking for innovative and passionate projects that have done the most to protect the planet and Camley Street Natural Park fitted the bill.

The park’s two acres of wild space is located in the heart of King's Cross. Created 25 years ago from an old coal drop, Camley Street is a pioneering project, which has transformed old industrial land into a place for people and wildlife, and has set the standard for urban nature conservation world wide.

While Camley Street is rightly recognised as an exceptional space for wildlife, the park's community work is what sets it apart from other projects.

Congratulations to the staff and volunteers who work tremendously hard making Camley Street the wonderful place it is. The conservation project winner will be announced on the evening of the 5th June at an awards ceremony in central London. Fingers crossed!
