The Steel Valley Project - the potential to enhance the level of biodiversity in Stocksbridge

A preliminary assessment of the natural environment of Stocksbridge

Students from the Department of Landscape, University of Sheffield, undertook a preliminary assessment of the potential to enhance the biodiversity of the Stocksbridge area in the late 1990s. As relatively little has changed since then, this general overview is still a valid starting point for discussions about the need for more detailed information.
