Baslow Environment Group

Caring about the environment in Baslow and beyond

Preserving our heritage and protecting our future

Welcome to the Baslow Environment Group!

We're a community group dedicated to protecting and enhancing the natural environment of Baslow, a beautiful village nestled within the Peak District National Park. Here in Derbyshire, close to Sheffield and Chesterfield, we share a deep love for this special place and recognise the importance of safeguarding its beauty.

We're all facing environmental challenges, and the Baslow Environment Group aims to tackle these issues across four key areas: Energy, Land, Transport, and Birds. Through advocacy, conservation efforts, and community engagement, we strive to ensure a sustainable future for Baslow and the wider area. Since forming in the autumn of 2023 we have made great progress, including forging a working relationship with the Chatsworth Estate.

Whether you call Baslow home or are simply drawn to its natural wonders, we invite you to join us. Explore our website to learn more about our initiatives, discover volunteer opportunities, and find out how you can contribute to protecting Baslow's environment.

The Baslow 50 Bird Challenge

Sign Up for a Bird Walk!

The Baslow Bird Group is organising some short bird walks accompanied by someone who can identify mostly what is singing, or calling.

Through our work, we:

Advocate for sustainable practices: We work with local communities, businesses, and policymakers to promote policies and practices that safeguard the area's environment.
Conserve precious habitats: We participate in conservation efforts to protect the area's diverse ecosystems, from its iconic limestone pavements to its vibrant wildflower meadows.
Educate and inspire: We raise awareness about environmental issues and inspire individuals to take action through educational programs, community events, and volunteering opportunities.
We believe that everyone has a role to play in protecting the environment. Whether you're a local resident, a frequent visitor, or simply someone who cares about the environment, we invite you to join us in our mission.
