We're
collaborating with Calderdale residents to present an
environmentally-focused project drawing inspiration from Jean
Giono's timeless tale, "The Man Who Planted Trees".
Throughout May, we extend a warm invitation to each
of you to participate in our workshops and guided walks. These
immersive experiences promise to ignite your passion for
environmental conservation and offer valuable insights into our
collective efforts.
But
that's not all! Mark your calendars because from 28 May to 15
June, we're proud to unveil our inaugural exhibition at the
Hebden Bridge Town Hall cafe and foyer.

WALK AND DRAW WORKSHOP:
ELLAND
Meet at Project Colt
THIS SATURDAY 1.30-4.30PM (suitable for ages 16+)
Led by Paul
Knights and artist Sally Barker
Join us this Saturday for an afternoon stroll starting at Project
Colt in Elland. Afterward, get creative at our art workshop until
4:30pm. Pay what you can afford from £3 - advance booking
essential.
We begin with a walk beside the canal and the River Calder, soaking
in the sights, sounds, and the environment around us. On this walk
with Paul Knights we'll delve into the area's rich industrial past
and its impact on the environment today.
Along the way, we'll collect natural materials for our workshop
with artist Sally Barker. You will draw, paint and print with these
materials, using them together with natural inks. You will layer
your drawings with words to create your own individual artwork that
has grown out of and with the environment around us. No art experience required

CROMWELL BOTTOM NATURE RESERVE
GUIDED WALK
Located just off the Brighouse to Elland Road A6025
SUNDAY 19 MAY 1:00-3:30PM (suitable for ages 14+)
Come for a gentle, two-mile walk around Cromwell Bottom Local
Nature Reserve with guide Paul Knights. Pay what you
can afford from £2 - advance booking essential.
As we amble on the accessible paths, we will consider the
remarkable industrial history of this part of the Calder Valley,
and its astonishing rejuvenation into a mosaic of woodland, wetland
and meadow that has become the wildlife jewel in the borough's crown.
We will see how a site once so used and abused can, with the
dedication of those who care, be transformed into a thriving haven
for birds and bats and bees, and also for people.
Paul Knights is a writer, landscape photographer and guided walk
leader exploring the narratives embodied in rural landscapes. He
brings 25 years of environmental experience – from practical work
in nature conservation and in agriculture, to academic research,
teaching and public engagement – to facilitating understanding
of landscape, place and nature.
