History

The Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust was formed in May 1963 as the Nottinghamshire Trust for Nature Conservation. Attenborough Nature Reserve was the first site to be under the control of the Trust in 1966, when the land was leased from CEMEX. The first reserve the trust purchased outright was Treswell Wood in 1973. [2] In 1989, the Trust purchased a small section of what is now the Idle Valley Nature Reserve, which the Trust has since bought the rest of the site. As of February 2020 the Trust were working to purchase Attenborough Nature Reserve from CEMEX, having raised funds in excess of their £1 million target.[3]

gollark: If you pass the unserializer very safe\* functions like `load` and `debug.setupvalue` and all that, you could serialize almost anything!
gollark: I was looking at trying to address the main issue with it - the possibility of```luatextutils.unserialise [[ (function() while true do end end)()]]```things (its _ENV is sandboxed, so it can't do anything other than denial of service attacks) but I think you would *basically* need a parser to prevent that.
gollark: `textutils.unserialize` is really bad and just uses `load` internally, see.
gollark: No, that's a valid table.
