The Bridestone boulders are an iconic set of giant, gritstone rock formations in West Yorkshire, popular with climbers and boulderers. Right now, there is a chance to secure access to this land for all and protect the wildlife for future generations by supporting the not-for-profit, Community Interest Company (CIC) Bridestones Rewilded.

Bridestones Rewilded are a group of naturalists, ecologists and members of the local community united by a love of nature and access to wild spaces. They currently have a Crowdfunder to raise the remaining £17,000 of their £55,000 target by 16 June. If they are successful, this 114 acre site will be Calderdale’s first community-owned nature reserve.

Director of Bridgestones Rewilded, Cath Baker, says, “I can confirm that climbers will continue to be very welcome. We want to make sure that this place can continue to be enjoyed by hill walkers and climbers, whilst we quietly restore the peat bog and let the heathland rejuvenate.
