Stop Calderdale Wind Farm
@protectourpeat.bsky.social
We’re campaigning to stop what would be England’s largest onshore wind farm from being built on the highly protected moor (SPA, SAC, SSSI) between Hebden Bridge and Top Withens aka Wuthering Heights. Wind farms don’t need to be built on protected peatland!
If you live in #laneshawbridge #trawden or #colne or use Two Laws/Lancashire Moor Road, this makes interesting reading…

We were baffled when one of our campaign banners mysteriously disappeared today, the very day when Mr Bannister was out shooting in the moor. Of course we were delighted to find it in one of his gun buses! HOW can it have got there? Delighted at this public spirited action against nasty thieves!

Happy Wuthering Heights Day! Today we celebrate the 207th birthday of Emily Brontë and the 67th birthday of Kate Bush. It’s a beautiful day out on #Walshaw Moor.
