The www.ecological-owlthorpe.org  project calls for protection of upstream environments. The Environment Agency, the Forestry Commission and Natural England have jointly committed to “nature-based solutions to tackle the climate emergency”, to which Ecological Owlthorpe has the potential to make an excellent contribution.

The government’s Environmental Improvement Plan, includes a commitment that the public should be able to access green space or water, such as woodlands, wetlands, parks and rivers, within a 15-minute walk from their home.

With this in mind we have produced a “Visitors Guide to Owlthorpe Heritage & Nature Trail.” 3,183 visitors to date of which 1,670 have signed our petition  https://chng.it/6vXHqcGG4S

Taking Action, as we say on our website, public opinion is a very strong tool. It is by working together that we can change hearts and minds and curb the over-development of vital green spaces, especially when mature and valuable trees are threatened with the axe. Numbers are important: politicians take notice when they feel a sufficient threat to their re-election.

Thank you for your support
