Countryside Access Volunteers
We also have the Countryside Access Volunteer Group who meet every Wednesday, throughout the year.
These full day projects include replacing stiles with gates, vegetation clearance, bridge building and more.
Booking for these events is essential. For more information, please contact our Countryside Access Officer at tom.partridge@pendle.gov.uk.
Gib Hill Nature Reserve community group
Gib Hill Nature Reserve has recently been designated as a Local Nature Reserve. For this Reserve to continue to improve and enhance our area, we need members of the community to come together support it. A range of opportunities are available.
Come along to our introductory meeting on Wednesday 18 September at Nelson Town Hall (Wilson Room) at 6pm.
