You may be aware that Sheffield City Council has obtained funding to improve nature and leisure in Shire Brook Valley, and the Sheffield Swift Network has been granted a small amount of this funding to install 50 swift bricks into suitable houses in some parts of the valley boundary to help save the local swift colony. Sheffield Swift Network is a group of volunteers across Sheffield who work to prevent the decline of swifts and improve their chances of recovering across Sheffield.
