NEW! Foxhill Bank Nature Reserve website

we_the_people · 12-09-2004, 19:26

Hi everyone.

Just to let you know, there is now a website for the nature reserve http://www.foxhill-bank.org.uk

The site is still in development at the moment, but we thought we'd let you all have a sneak preview before it's officially launched.

Any feedback, negative or positive, would be greatly appreciated.

Likewise, if anyone feels they have relevant info that they would like to see on the site then please don't hesitate in contacting us at [email protected]

Thankyou,

Gary

Thanks Gary. That looks very interesting.

Thanks Willow

It will be interesting, hopefully, when we get all the info and the photo gallery on there.

Hi Gary,
Very interesting site. One point, which may seem pedantic but I think is important, you need to take more care over punctuation. Good luck.

A bit of a spell check too. It may sound finicky but it does look much more professional when everything is spot on.

The layout is very attractive, not too fussy but interesting.

Thanks for the info Gary, I will keep it in my "favourites"

Wow! Thanks everyone

First time I've posted on this forum, didn't really know what to expect.

Thanks for the comments, I'll be going through the site tomorrow to get all those spelling mistakes and typos sorted out. We've put so much work into the site, I think it was a case of 'couldn't see for looking' lol.

Atarah, thanks, I spent about an hour looking at your facinating site this morning, if you have any photos of Foxhill Bank we'd be only too happy to put them on our gallery page

It's nice in here, think I may become a regular

Great idea - it is a wonderful place. I remember walking over Whiteash as a child and all round Foxhill Bank, and now our house looks over it. It is a great local asset, and deserves to be used and cared for.

Any suggestions about what to do about the oiks with quad bikes who charge around, mostly evening/night, terrifying the wildlife and wrecking the paths?

Just discovered this thread on a SEARCH for "nature" (no i dont want to get my kit off and run around the fields)... I want to try a bit of nature photography... This thread is 2 yrs old.. anyone know if the site and info is still relevant.. anyone been to this place.. anyone know of other nature places..

I remember as a kid being able to find nature stuff.. frogs and all manner of stuff.. now wouldnt know where... wanna photograph wildlife and anyting interesting... But local

Suggestions as to where and my other question.. ta?

Yup, still going strong.

Myself and Pendy and Gayle all over look it.

I sit in bed watching the herons, and very occasionally kingfishers.

The rubbish bins need emptying and they are building a new viewing platform, other than that it's very nice. Spring is great as it's been well planted with native spring flowers.

Friday night you may well see some wildlife, as young teens meet to court/make a racket.

wasnt too sure what to make of the above so we went down this morning.... really took some finding and when we did I walked around the path and didnt think much of it.... then i saw a board with a map of the area... the board is just about readable its so mucky... anyways it showed two lodges and I missed them on the walk round... so off we went again and we found the lodges..... a lot better...

to think this is litrally a few minutes walk from the cenetaph in town... how many people would know... nothing spectacular and wrong time of year for anything colourfull... but I will post the pics later... I bet some will be surprised at whats so close

and if you have a good uninterupted view of all that and/or a lodge then your a very lucky fella gary

He does. Apparently it is the best platform for viewing dogging activities in the whole of Hyndburn.

Probably help to find it if they had a map on the website.
