We have started adding some of our responses to the Bradford Local Plan consultation to our website... more to come over the weekend! #Bradford #LocalPlan #SustainableFutures @CPRE

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our #Bradford #LocalPlan discussion group. It was great to hear from so many people engaged with the process.

Our friend Lyndsey was on Sky News this week talking about the threat to #GreenBelt in #Greetland #calderdale and @cpre's @CrispinTruman was on too, launching the annual State of Green Belt report. Read more about it here https://www.cprewestyorkshire.org.uk/news/news-report-about-the-green-belt-in-calderdale/

All UK airports have plans to grow passenger numbers big time. This is unsustainable: why on earth tie economic aspirations to yet more carbon emissions? It's outmoded and short-sighted. @GfAoLBA @cpre @OurFutureLeeds @LeedsClimateCom

More from the Moor: There are few signs of spring arriving yet out on the open moorland but the ground in the sheltered woodland around Hebers Ghyll is becoming greener.

Getting to work on @bradfordmdc draft Local Plan response. It says they need to identify "sites to support high growth sectors and low carbon businesses". But surely, to meet @WestYorkshireCA 's net-zero 2038 target, ALL new growth must be zero-carbon?

Our friends @QburyTunnel have asked us to share this petition to save the Historic Railways Estate. Old rail routes provide walking, cycling and nature corridors and sometimes also lead to rail re-openings. @cpre @SlowWaysUK https://www.change.org/p/highways-england-protect-our-railway-heritage-from-highways-england-s-wrecking-ball

It's #starcount week @CPRE and in @cprewestyorks we're pleased to spread the word for our friends' campaign for amber LED street lights - saving energy and avoiding the pitfalls of blue-white light pollution. And don't forget to count the stars!

Why not join our #StarCount this month? Everyone in the family can have a go! Find out how here

Hugely important #DasguptaReview out today. Looking forward to reading some of the detail and seeing how this can change policy and processes.

More from the Moor: It's been snowing gently all day and continues to do so, therefore the light is monochrome and everything is quiet.

More from the Moor: An icy start to the year. Ilkley Tarn has a thick layer of ice in the central section. The Upper Tarn is higher up but in a more sheltered situation and so is ice free today, but still with a chilly look!

As you come into Silsden on the Millenium Way, the path crosses Hayhills Beck. The water is flowing pretty fast after December's rain. Finding some peace in the beauty of nature as we near the end of 2020.

Cringles is the highest point between Airedale and Wharfedale on the road between Addingham and Silsden. This is taken from Parsons Lane, an old drove road up from Addingham towards Silsden Moor.
