The end of the Hull Valley Wildlife Group

摘要

Almost 40 years of wildlife recording and reporting at Tophill Low and the wider River Hull valley by the Hull Valley Wildlife Group (HVWG) and its precursors have come to an end with its eventual demise in June 2015. A number of circumstances have combined to reduce interest in the group and it was obvious that it had run its course and it was time to close and say goodbye. Our running costs had become greater than our income and, in order to ensure that our assets were put to best use, we decided that we should donate them to suitable conservation organisations (namely Yorkshire Naturalists' Union and the Yorkshire Branch of Butterfly Conservation) before they were whittled away, over time, to nothing.
