Pride of the Birds celebrates Sheffield’s deep connection to nature, wildlife, and its identity as one of the UK’s greenest cities.
Inspired by a community coming together like a pride to protect what they love, the artwork reflects the city’s strong conservation spirit. Featuring some well-loved birds, and elements of the surrounding ancient woodlands, this design symbolises resilience, unity, and the powerful bond between humans and their natural environment.
