Donations & Recycling from Local Car Boot Sales assist the provision of Funding Basic Expenses of the Trust however this is a big struggle in terms of Storage , Time etc. Our basic Operational Costs Include Administration , Insurances , General Transport and other legal requisites
As always we struggle to invest in motorised Wheel Chairs to include all users in our delivery programme .
We are currently producing a Report On Cromwell Bottom that will provide the basis of Application to Natural England to have Cromwell Bottom LNR designated as a SSI ( Site of Scientific Interest ) . In order to make this accessible and available to local people and naturalist alike it will require some investment in Print Forfilment
The Lock House Projects
We are particularly pleased to involve the CRT - The Canal Rivers Trust in our Conservation work at Cromwell Bottom LNR and Elland Wood SSI. for a number of reasons. FEET share a number of common aspirations with the CRT (i) Widening participation and promoting the Access along Canal Towpaths (i) promoting the balance of Freshwater Natural History (iii) Understanding promoting and engaging the wider community . The operating footprint of FEET
The Lock Houses - A Matching Pair !!!!
Both Lock Houses although situated about a Mile apart provide FEET with an opportunity to provide Forward operating Bases at Cromwell Bottom LNR and Elland Wood SSI. and at the same time promote FEET and the CRT. we very much hope that this is the begining of a very productive relationship for both organisations
The Use of The Lock Houses
Bringing back to life these Lock houses and giving them a purpose in the Community is a major achievement in itself and we have thank those within the CRT for having the vision to see this .
Ticking All The Boxes
We hope to put 2 Information Points High Quality Notice Boards promoting the work of Both the CRT and FEET and distribute the Canal & River Trust literature ( Events , Volunteering ). The Cottages will have Poster Displays aiding Identification of Birds , Fish , Wild Flowers of Canal & Wayside and
The Brookfoot Wildlife Garden - Cromwell Bottom LNR with the assistance of Calderdale MBC. The area the rear of Broofoot Lock we hope to vastly improve with special impact for Schools Abled and Disabled Users
Natural History Events & Field Study Days .For our first event we are hoping to give a day event Presentation to Yorkshire Archaeology - The History of The Calder & Hebble Navigation - and this would be a major achievement to undertake at the Lock Cottage itself . FEET are currently putting together a full and packed programme For Winter Days !!
Events & Guided Walks Our organised events and guided walks largely due to our expertise has proven popular and based on the first two deliveries ( which despite not being publicised where filled )
Rotational & Permanent Displays Photographs form local Photographers , Artists and a Small but developing section dealing with Historic Photographs and Artefacts relating to the Calder & Hebble Canal of interests to Canal Boat Owners & Navigators
