Looking back on our schedule of talks..... all of which have been well attended and very informative... hopefully see you at the next one at the end of June... 

Walks from the 358 Bus!

Hot off the press! 

We are delighted to publish our second walks from the bus leaflet, this time helping you enjoy the various walks and destinations accessible from the 358 bus. Happy walking!

 

 
Come and join us for an informative talk on Peak Cluster, a local project hoping to find the solution for dealing with CO2 emissions from cement and lime production.

With cement production being the single largest cause of CO2 emissions in Derbyshire that keeps us at the bottom of CO2 reduction league tables, this is a difficult topic with many differing views.
 
This talk is to help us all be better informed and an opportunity for all to share their views.

Be part of the conversation as collectively we seek to rise to the ever growing climate and nature challenge..

Apple Day 2024 - another wonderful day, here in pictures. 
Thank you to all who made it happen and who came along.   

Hayfield Biodiversity Group are delighted to announce that we have managed to obtain grant funding from the government's Species Survival Fund, administered by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, to carry out some woodland restoration works in Bluebell Wood, off the Sett Valley Trail. It is over 20 years since initial woodland improvement and accessibility work was carried out and it has developed into the popular Local Nature Reserve we have today. Over time, however, the path has degraded and the abundance and range of species in the wood has declined. In particular, there are significantly fewer native bluebells in recent years. Over the course of the winter, we will, in conjunction with Derbyshire County Council's Countryside Service, restore sections of the path and carry out some woodland management work. This will include selective thinning of trees, part-removal of invasive brambles, creation of dead-wood fences, log piles, etc. More details in the coming weeks, but there is plenty of opportunity for the community to help out with the various tasks, so watch this space!
