Rivelin Valley Conservation Group
Promoting and protecting heritage and wildlife
NEXT EVENT: The next open meeting is about “The Last of the Little Mesters” by Peter Machan on Thursday 12th March 7.30 pm.
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...?
