Funding boost for Valley nature reserve

Yorkshire Water has invested in and partnered with seven projects across the region, including one in Mytholmroyd, that aim to develop, improve and protect the natural environment.

The funding awarded to Calderdale will be used at Brearley Fields Wetland Nature Reserve, part of the Calder

Greening project being led by Calderdale Council.

A new wetland nature reserve will be created on former playing fields lying on the flood plain between the River Calder and the Rochdale Canal in Mytholmroyd.

The funding will assist in providing new and improved wildlife habitats

Calderdale Council’s cabinet member for climate change and environment, Coun Scott Patient, said: “We’re delighted that the Brearley Field Wetland Nature Reserve project has been awarded this funding.”
