A meadow which has fallen out of use in Cleobury Mortimer is to be transformed into a wildlife and conservation area.
The town's youth charity Pioneer Centre is planning to develop the land to be used by Cleobury Mortimer Primary School - which will be helping with the design - for science studies.
It will be transformed into "an area of species-rich grassland and wetland".
The project involves opening the meadow, which contains examples of habitats and vegetation largely lost from modern countryside as it has been undeveloped, to young people and visitors to the centre, including the disabled.
The centre is working in partnership with conservation charity BCTV, Parish Paths Partnership, Marches Woodland Initiative and Cleobury Mortimer Footpath Society.
Pioneer Centre sales and marketing director Stephen Robertshaw said: "We hope it will become an area for quiet contemplation and retreat for people in the local community."
