  • This Meanwood Valley Walk Download
    An introduction to the The Meanwood Valley has long been celebrated as a ‘green artery’ in Leeds, bringing rural countryside into the heart of the city. In this green corridor is a rich mosaic of habitats, including woodland, lowland heath, meadow, watercourses and ponds. Though much of the valley is readily accessible from local urban areas, it provides an excellent opportunity to experience and enjoy wildlife in often seemingly-remote surroundings. The valley is centred on two watercourses, the topmost being Adel Beck which rises in Bramhope, but which gives way to Meanwood Beck just south of the Outer Ring Road. The becks are home to fish, such as stone loach and bullhead, as well as the native white-clawed crayfish, which is sadly now threatened. Keep your eyes open when walking near the becks and you may be lucky to spot one of our resident kingfishers or otters. Where the becks flow between boulders and within the woodland, the cool, moist conditions provide the perfect habitat for ferns, liverworts and mosses. In contrast, the poor, free-drain - ing soils and open and exposed conditions at Adel Moor are ideal for heather and if you’re particularly lucky, you may spot the com - mon lizards which live here. Small ponds along the valley are also the breeding grounds of frogs, toads and newts, including the protected great crested newt. The woodlands that cover much of the green space in the valley provide wonderful scenes of carpets of ground flora in spring and rich colours in the autumn. Mammals such as roe deer, stoats and several species of bats make the woodland their home, together with a wide variety of bird species, from house sparrows and long-tailed tits to jays, red kites and all three native woodpecker – the great spotted, lesser spotted and green woodpecker.

  • Interim Report January 2018 - March 2019 BACKGROUND
    Interim Report January 2018 - March 2019 BACKGROUND The Meanwood Valley has long been celebrated as a ‘green artery’ from the centre of urban Leeds to the rural countryside north of the city. This Green Infrastructure Corridor has a rich natural heritage, with an extensive and diverse range of habitats and a wealth of sites designated for their biodiversity value and nature conservation interest. In January 2018, Leeds City Council and the Meanwood Valley Partnership were awarded £65K from the Heritage Lottery Fund in order to promote an understanding of this wildlife and its management by increasing opportunities for local communities to discover and get involved in the natural environment of the Valley, through a programme of volunteer activity, wildlife surveys, Bioblitzes and other public nature events, interpretation, web content and education. By encouraging as wide a range of people as possible to celebrate this wildlife on their doorstep we aim to ensure the sustainability of this natural heritage into the future; because, in the words of David Attenborough: “No one will protect what they don’t care about, and no one will care about what they have never experienced”. The project officially started in January 2018 and will run to June 2020. It was in April 2018 when our newly-funded Meanwood Valley Heritage Ranger started that the project really took off the ground. This report summarises what we have achieved in the first year of this project; from January 2018 until March 2019. PROJECT THEMES To achieve our aims of engaging as many people as possible with the wildlife on their doorstep we developed the following themes: INTERPRET NATURE EXPERIENCE NATURE UNDERSTAND NATURE PROTECT NATURE INTERPRET NATURE Prior to this project we noted that on-site interpretation panels were extremely limited; very few leaflets were available; web content was hard to find and, where available, spread over a number of websites.

  • Knowing Bradford This Pack Has Been Developed to Support the ‘Knowing Bradford’ Project
    Activity Pack – Knowing Bradford This pack has been developed to support the ‘Knowing Bradford’ project. It will help students to explore the history of Bradford places and people. Introduction The script of people and places in Bradford merely scratches the surface of the city’s past and locations important to its history and heritage. There is a lot more that students could explore. The ideas presented here are examples of follow-up activities that will reinforce learning, understanding, awareness, and develop research, literacy, oracy and presentation skills. They can be mixed and matched depending on student levels. They have been divided into subject areas, although most are related to more than one curriculum area, e.g.: historical research includes reading and concentration skills, and may lead to writing, art, design activities, etc. Maths is also integral to many of the activities. Each scene could be performed individually by students to recap knowledge before choosing follow-up activities related to those scenes. This Activity Pack relates to the Teaching Activity - Knowing Bradford: How can buildings tell a story? Website: HistoricEngland.org.uk/Education Email:[email protected] Activity Pack – Knowing Bradford Introduction: Town Crier Suggested activities and related web links © The Trustees of the British Museum, released as CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1935-0522-13-4 Follow-up Activities These suggested activities relate to the Introduction and the Town Crier, in the Knowing Bradford play, developed as part of the ‘Knowing Bradford’ project.
