WELCOME TO RVCG
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.

Few people watch long-tailed tits more than @SarahBiddiscomb. She’s part of a 25-year research project in the Rivelin Valley run by the University of Sheffield. She has some incredible insights into these gorgeous little birds.
