The team from the PROSPECTS Foundation will be hosting a Waxcap Watch Citizen Science event on Friday 30th October, from 10am to 12pm, and everyone is welcome to get involved!

The morning will involve exploring Brookside and searching for waxcap fungi, helping to record these fascinating species and build a better understanding of the site’s biodiversity. Waxcaps are important indicators of healthy grassland habitats, so every discovery can help inform future conservation work.

It’s a great opportunity to learn something new, enjoy the outdoors and play a part in protecting Brookside’s natural environment.

📍 Meeting point: Noticeboard on Stanhill Road, BB5 4PP
📅 Date: Friday 30th October 2026
⏰ Time: 10am – 12pm

For more information, please contact [email protected]

Another fantastic opportunity to get involved in the Brookside Restoration Project and help the team discover more about the wildlife that makes this site so special! 🌳🍄

We’re really pleased to see the next stage of the tackling Burnley moto nuisance project beginning, with improvement works starting across a number of local green spaces 🌳

The works will include improved entrances, new and replacement railings, accessible gates, boulders and other measures designed to help prevent unauthorised motorbike and vehicle access – while keeping these spaces welcoming and accessible for local communities.

It’s great to see the plans moving from paper to the ground, and we’ll be sharing more photos as the work progresses! 🌿

More conservation work is underway at Bury Parish Church!

It’s great to see this important phase of the project getting started, with work now underway to carefully lift, conserve and re-lay the historic ledger stones.

These stones are an important part of Bury’s heritage, and the work will help protect them and the stories they hold for future generations.

If you’re visiting the church while the works are taking place, please take a little extra care around the grounds as contractors, machinery and temporary working areas will be on site.

We’ll be sharing more photos and updates as the work progresses! 🌳
