- The group was set up in July 1994 and
became a registered charity in 1995. Our purpose is to preserve and enhance
the natural and historical characteristics of the Porter Valley, from
Hunters Bar to Porter Clough.
- We liaise with the council about the management of the public areas of the
valley and are working with them towards a funding bid to restore the dams.
- We have groups of volunteers interested in the archaeology and ecology of
the valley and have produced substantial reports plus a leaflet.
- We hold four Open Meetings each year with guest speakers, and organise educational walks, about one a month, on a wide range of
subjects relevant to the Valley such as archaeology, bats, birds, fungi,
geology, moths, the designed landscape, the history of water power, wild flowers.
