We are grateful for the sponsorship and help we have received from the following people and organisations:
South West Area Panel
Sheffield City Council
Funding for a 'clear up days' in Spring 2007 and Spring 2008. Thanks to a 'Greening the city' grant we have been able to plant hundreds of wild-flowers in the lanes.
The West Area Ranger team for maintenance work on the site and for supporting our clear-up days with the loan of equipment.
The Highcliffe Pub, Greystones Road
Thanks to the Manager who kindly allows us free use of the excellent function room for our meetings.
Mayfield Alpacas
Provision of manure.
Mayfield Alpacas is situated on Fulwood Lane at Ringinglow, and is well worth a visit.
