Welcome, we are Friends of the Hook
Helping to maintain a special nature reserve on the banks of the River Trent near the centre of Nottingham…

Working with others
The Hook is the area of open land next to the River Trent in Lady Bay. It is a local nature reserve and has wild flower meadows, an orchard, woodland, and a wildlife pond. There is a thriving Friends of The Hook group which works with Nottinghamshire Wildlife and Rushcliffe Borough Council to manage the site, make improvements and plan activities.

For the local community
We aim to support the use and management of the Hook, Lady Bay site as a designated Local Nature Reserve by protecting, maintaining and enhancing it for the benefit of the local community and for flora and fauna.

Teaching, Conservation
The Hook site was formally designated a Local Nature Reserve in December 2009. We have a regular working party on the first Sunday of each month. ALL WELCOME.
