Protecting Peak District & South Yorkshire landscapes since 1924

Some striking kestrel shots here from our chairperson, @jparrylrc. So often seen at a distance on the wing, but often reluctant to stay still long enough for shots like this.

Congratulations to @mazymixer - a worthy @Campaign4Parks People's Choice winner with this remarkable shot of a thought-provoking Hope valley vista that we know so well. Pushing the limits of mobile photography in its framing and composition.

Doesn’t time fly?! Is it really 10 years since the wonderful Woodland Discovery Centre opened its doors in Ecclesall Woods? Many Happy Returns. Cherished woodland on our doorsteps in @theoutdoorcity - perfect for autumn leaf swishing, and of course a cafe cuppa afterwards.

Any tips, anyone??

Big congrats to our colleagues at @WildSheffield on yet another award for their exceptional stewardship of Wyming Brook. We're so blessed in @theoutdoorcity to have treasures like this on our doorstep - a white water gorge within just a few miles of the city centre... 1/2

Spider season. Anyone round our way been startled by a Giant House Spider sprinting across the living room carpet in search of autumn warmth?

Indeed. Very fine words from Aidan Stone of @OldSheffield, and from @paulbesleywrite as well. At the risk of appearing immodest, we’d like to think that our forbears did their bit to try to keep things this way…

Another lovely set of sunrise photos from our chairperson Julie. Up with the lark and out with the camera every day to celebrate the countryside she strives to cherish and protect. We love the shot of the bird on a post here.

Seconded.

Very kind words from @NorthWestFOE about last night's event. With everyone's help, we hope to build broad support for ideas like these. Better, we think, than digging up countryside to build bigger roads for more traffic. We need solutions that address #ClimateEmergency urgently.
