Hillside Heroes 1194129 Annual Report

Aims and Purposes

Hillside Heroes is a community group operating in Pendle, Lancashire, seeking to promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment by promoting biological diversity and heritage assets.

Objectives and Activities

The main focus of attention over the last 12 months has been in attempting to protect and preserve ca. 14 ha of countryside between Colne and Nelson know as Gib Hill for the benefit of the natural environment and local community. Hillside Heroes have been working closely with the Lancashire Wildlife Trust to get nature surveys done on the site so as to demonstrate the ecological importance of the site. The group has been organising pubic support to lobby Pendle Council and the local MP into agreeing to declare the site as either a Community Nature Reserve or as a Local Nature Reserve. This has involved speaking at several Council meetings and encouraging volunteers in the community to write letters and to make submissions in the Local Plan consultations in support of a Nature Reserve on Gib Hill. On the ground, we have been urging the Council to make improvements to the public footpaths, arranging litter picks and have been raising the profile of the site by organising walks and photography events.

Achievements and Performance

The main achievement this year was in persuading the Council to change their planning policy and to set up a Working Group to identify the most appropriate way to establish a Nature Reserve on the land. It is anticipated that a formal declaration of a Nature Reserve will follow in due course, and until then tangible activities on the ground will be limited. Financial activities have been limited this year too, for the same reason.

Once a Nature Reserve is established, Hillside Heroes expect to be involved with the search for volunteers to help with environmental improvement projects and to undertake fund raising and grant applications to support such projects; and establishing educational projects with local schools and other community groups.

Hillside Heroes is on the lookout for other opportunities in Pendle to further its Charitable Objectives.

Volunteers

Hillside Heroes would like to thank all volunteers who have helped the charity with this year’s achievements, and we could not operate without them.
