We are pleased to announce that HCA along with Otley 2030 and Alwoodley 2030 have been awarded some funding from The University of Leeds to look at researching and developing a Nature Corridor in our respective areas.
With support from a researcher at the University of Leeds, the funding will enable us to work with the community to discuss, evaluate and develop a nature corridor running West/East through Horsforth from Hunger Hills Woods down to Low Lane Recreation Ground.
The proposed corridor will run from Hunger Hills Woods down past Horsforth School and St Margaret’s Church, across Long Row onto Broadgate Lane (past Broadgate school and St Mary’s School), down past St James’ Church onto Low Lane and then onto Low Lane Recreation Ground. There is a map highlighting the proposed corridor at the top of this page.
This is a really exciting opportunity, and we’re keen to get volunteers to work with us from the beginning of the project, on planning, how to gather information, running events and activities, and working to develop an updated nature corridor. If you’re interested in getting involved in this, please email: info@horsforthclimateaction.org
If you live along the corridor and have a garden or outdoor space, please take a few minutes to complete our Horsforth Garden Biodiversity Survey All completed surveys will help us to establish what wildlife / biodiversity already exisit in the area.
