The Steel Valley Project has been enhancing Stocksbridge, Bradfield and the Upper Don area since forming in 1988. A registered charity, our organisation works towards the following objectives:
- Manage habitats for the benefit of wildlife, people, heritage and landscape.
- Encourage access to open green space/wider countryside.
- Deliver environmental/education/interpretation to local schools/wider population.
- Provide support, advice, training & supervision to volunteers, trainees & community groups in countryside management/ conservations skills by working on real local environmental projects.
We have a long history of delivering environmental, community and countryside projects with a range of partners, consistently working to improve the environment in our operational area.
Working with volunteers is a huge part of our organisation and we have a team of dedicated people who help us to deliver our practical and community activities throughout the year.
We’ve planted lots of trees in the Stocksbridge valley since forming.
