I am delighted that Kielder Development Trust have been
awarded £17,700 from the Heritage Lottery Fund, to develop a new visitor
attraction, which is all part of the ‘Living Wild at Kielder Project’.
This fantastic
project aims to help people experience and learn about the area’s wildlife through
the development of ‘nature hubs’, and a year-round events and activity
programme. Trails will also be created from Stonehaugh, Falstone, and
Greenhaugh, with wildlife ambassadors and volunteers engaging with visitors.
Such work in supporting our fantastic natural heritage in Kielder, whilst
promoting engagement and learning is vital, and this latest grant from the
Heritage Lottery Fund is a great step forward.
