Promoting and protecting heritage and wildlife
The Rivelin Valley Conservation Group (RVCG) was formed in 1991 with the aim to encourage the effective management of wildlife habitats and to reverse the decline of the nature trail. Over the years we have completed numerous projects to protect the heritage of the valley, giving new life to the trail and in turn providing an invaluable resource to the local community.
What's happening...?

From snow of last week to flooding from Storm Burt it feels like we had all the weather at once in the Rivelin.
The RVCG Task team was in action this weekend repairing the nature trail at Holme Head Wheel. Luckily the snow had melted and Storm Burt had abated. Thanks to all who helped.
