The Steel Valley Project

💧 Progress update from Shireoaks!

✅ New access path created
✅ Drainage works underway
✅ New pond dug and ready for today's rainfall

We're delighted to see our Natural Flood Management project with Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust really taking shape. Not only will these improvements help manage flood risk, but they'll also provide lasting benefits for local wildlife and the surrounding environment.

Even better, we're already planning the next project! 📅

☀️ Last week was a hot one for Ryan and the volunteers at our Shireoaks Natural Flood Management project, but that didn't stop the team making fantastic progress.

They're digging out areas designed to slow, store and retain rainwater, helping to reduce flood risk during heavy downpours and keeping water in the landscape for longer.💦

Interested in lending a hand? There's still time to volunteer on this project, and we're already planning the next one. We'd love to have you involved!

🌡With temperatures set to cool down a little this weekend, it's the perfect time to get outdoors and explore your local area on foot.🥾

Why not try the Steel Valley Walk? Tucked between the steelworks and the bypass in Stocksbridge, this hidden gem offers fantastic views across the valley, plenty of wildlife, and some excellent blackberry-picking spots.

It's a little overgrown in places, but that's part of its charm. On our walk this morning, we spotted a tawny owl, a buzzard and a red admiral. 🦉
