Stoney Hill Community Wildlife Area
Stoney Hill Community Wildlife Area is situated between Marne Crescent and Bridgefold Road. It comprises of a meadow area bordered by deciduous woodland.
The SETRA Clean and Green team are aiming to create an area rich in native wildlife to improve the biodiversity, whilst creating a tranquil space for residents and visitors to enjoy.
The Rochdale Field Naturalists helped us survey the site and we have 23 trees and shrubs, 73 different flowering plants, 13 species of birds and more than 40 types of invertebrate.
In 2019 we were awarded Level 4 - Thriving in the In Your Neighbourhood category of Rochdale in Bloom.
We have a management plan agreed with Rochdale Borough Council and work on the area at least once a month, usually on a Friday. We advertise the dates on our Facebook page.
More than 30 people have helped make the site what it is today.
