Despite a wild and windy night, last Wednesday (5th Feb) saw a successful meeting to form a wildlife group for the Bentlont and Hope Valley Area in Hope Village Hall.
The meeting was organised by the Stiperstones and Corndon Landscape Partnership which has been sponsoring a number of such gatherings in the area to set up a number of these groups to protect key species in the Shropshire Hill’s unique environment.
“This is one a number of groups set up by the partnership, a project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The aim is to undertake a variety of tasks to improve these species prospects of survival including surveying their numbers and identifying them, clearing vegetation and putting in nest boxes. Full training will be given .”
Anyone interested in joining the group should contact Joe Penfold on 01938 561741
