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...?

Our next talk is on Thursday 13th Feb at Stephen Hill Church where Jan Hobot will talk about making the Haddon estate future sustainable. Hope to see you there.
The RVCG task team was out last weekend clearing the goit at Hind Wheel and repairing the path. Well done to all who helped. If you remember the fun of playing in mud and water when you were three consider joining the RVCG task team reliving those halcyon days!
RVCG was at the Sheffield Heritage Fair Jan 26th and 27th. There was lots of interest in what RVCG does. Thanks to Graham A, Sue, Joan, Graham R and Christine for representing the group there,
Come see the RVCG who have a stand at this weekends (25th/26th) Sheffield Heritage Fair from 10am-4pm Saturday and 11am-4pm Sunday.
As we batten down the hatches for the next named storm the council have been out clearing up the fallen willow by Rivelin Park from the last bad weather.

From snow of last week to flooding from Storm Burt it feels like we had all the weather at once in the Rivelin.
