Birmingham Nature Centre

The Birmingham Nature Centre is situated two miles south of Birmingham City Centre and covers over six acres.

Within a range of habitats such as woodland, wetland, farm and gardens, you can see representatives from all the major groups of the world's animal kingdom. There are over 130 different species of animal, including deer, otters, owls, snakes, spiders and fish. The centre's natural habitats also provide a source of food and shelter for native wildlife like newts, kingfishers and grey squirrels.

The Centre was opened in 1975 on the site of the original Pebble Mill and together with the museum building, which once housed part of the city's natural history collection, forms an environmental centre that everyone can enjoy. Information about nature conservation is available through displays and a programme of events.
