Dorset Wildlife Trust has worked with Bournemouth and Poole College's students and the sustainability team, particularly Heather Sharp, on the Urban Green project, to transform the churchyard at St Peter's church, Bournemouth.

Students and other volunteers carried out work in the churchyard to create a tranquil place, with wildlife-friendly planting and ground clearing to make it a safer space for everyone in the community to enjoy.

The students were involved in the film, "St Peters Reimagined", which documents the work done, and which was shortlisted for the International Charity Awards in 2023 - https://www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/what-we-do/connecting-people-with-nature/urban-green
