We are St Nicks — the Green Heart of York.   

Over nearly three decades, we've grown from a small group of volunteers to a registered charity working to make York a more sustainable city. Our work spans three main areas: nature conservation through our Green Corridors York project, Waste and Recycling, and Nature-Based Wellbeing. 

• In addition to St Nicks nature reserve, our Green Corridors team manages many urban and suburban green spaces across the city
• Our Waste and Recycling team collects and sorts recycling from city centre residents and businesses, and events like York Pride
• And our Nature-Based Wellbeing team specialises in person-centred support with a focus on mental health and nature, and nature-based education for children and young people.

We are funded by City of York Council and a range of grants, and generate vital income through membership, donations and fundraising events. 

We welcome you to join us. Together, we can fulfil our vision for a York where people value wildlife, the environment and each other equally, to sustain a rich and healthy life for all.
