Potteric Carr Nature Reserve in Doncaster was given the money in the Yorkshire Bank Spirit of the Community Awards.

"Preserving our beautiful surroundings is incredibly important to us and to the community who enjoy it, and this funding will help us continue with this longstanding project.

"We hope that the local community will continue to enjoy and help us preserve our environment, as well as engage with the educational resources we will provide."
