...at ten sites around Todmorden area, until mid-April.  

In Todmorden, a dedicated group aims to reduce road casualties through organised patrols during the migration. They’re asking people to be extra careful when driving at night, for the sake of toads, frogs and newts and the volunteers.

If you would like any further information and/or if you would like to be more involved, please contact the group by email, Facebook or phone (01706) 819909 (Andrew).

Join us on Sunday 8th April for another walk in Todmorden and Hebden Bridge.

The next 3 Valley Vegans walk is offered by Steve again; photos of the last walk are on our website. Details will be announced nearer the time.There will likely be  some steady hill climbing, likely to be muddy, suitable walkingboots/shoes required.

Bring packed lunch etc (please, vegan food and drink only).
Dogs welcome.

• Less Meat More Life (Facebook, 0:01:39) – a kids-eye view of industrial farming. 

Please consider signing this petition to Parliament calling for an independent welfare body to protect racehorses from abuse and death.
