As someone who knows about or uses the Eastern Moors and the Sheffield City Council moors of Burbage, Hathersage and Houndkirk we would like to invite you to attend one of the following consultation workshops. Each one has a different focus, and you are welcome to attend more than one if you wish to.
By the end of each workshop, attendees will have:
• Found out more about the new partnership that will take on the management of the Eastern Moors for the Peak District National Park Authority in Autumn 2010, and its objectives.
• Had an opportunity to contribute your views and ideas on the current and possible future management of the Eastern and Sheffield City Council Moors;
• Heard about the next steps planned following the Eastern and Sheffield City Council Moors summer 2010 consultation events.
This is the area we will be discussing (The Eastern Moors and Sheffield City Council Moors)
Workshops are free to attend but you need to book in advance. Please telephone Margot Seymour at Losehill Hall on 01433 622472 to book your place, or email training.losehill@peakdistrict.gov.uk (giving your name, organisation (if relevant), email and a contact telephone number) at least 5 days before the event(s) you wish to attend.

People from communities around the area and from afar have had a strong connection with the
Eastern and Sheffield City Council Moors over time and value the place for a range of benefits it
brings them, from solitude to gather their thoughts to adventure and exploration, or just a day out with
friends and family. While other communities may well be unaware of the areas special qualities due to

Workshop 3 - Enjoying the Uplands
Tuesday 3rd August, 19:00 – 21:00 (18:45 arrival)

People have accessed the Eastern and Sheffield City Council Moors for the pursuit of a range of
recreational activities, such as climbing, cycling, walking and watching wildlife, for many years. The
nature of these activities is defined by the character of the land and in some ways the land has been
changed by the activities carried out there.
This workshop seeks to better understand how we can enhance the recreational provision on this
land, while ensuring it remains in harmony with the needs of the natural environment.
Workshop 4 - Enhancing the Uplands
Thursday 5th August, 19:00 – 21:00 (18:45 arrival)
Totley All Saints Church Hall, Totley Hall Lane, Totley, Sheffield S17
The Eastern and Sheffield City Council Moors is a special place for wildlife, from its dramatic and open
moors to its intimate and vibrant woodlands. People lived and worked on this land for many
generations, adding to its story over time from building stone circles to creating the reservoirs used to
provide our water.
This workshop aims to explore what is important, how to bring alive the stories and hidden gems from
past histories and how we can provide the opportunities for nature to thrive, creating a home for
existing and new wildlife, while enhancing our heritage for future generations.
Workshop 5 - Working for the Uplands
Tuesday 10th August, 19:00 – 21:00 (18:45 arrival)
Totley All Saints Church Hall, Totley Hall Lane, Totley, Sheffield S17
Wildlife and habitats have both benefited from and struggled with the way we have managed the land
over the years resulting in the wildlife and landscape we have today.
This workshop aims to understand how land management, particularly farming can be used as a
vehicle to deliver a rich and healthy place for nature, while striving for a sustainable economic model
that supports the concept of a living landscape. |
