Big News from the Dearne Valley

The Dearne Valley has been chosen as one of only 12 Nature Improvement Areas in England. There was something like 80 applications.

The whole scheme is for a £2.5 million pound project and DEFRA have stumped up nearly £560,000 as part of the NIA bid. There is also £200,000 confirmed by The Environment Agency as well.

Congratulations to Pete Wall (RSPB) and the rest of the guys working on the Dearne Valley Green Heart Project.

PS - The Humberhead Levels has also won Nature Improvement Area status; which should be really good news for the guys watching Thorne and Hatfield Moors.
