The first edition of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Residents e-Newsletter is now available to download from the AONB website.

The AONB Residents Newsletter, produced twice a year, contains a range of information that may be of interest to local people including the latest news from the AONB, details of grants that are available and ways people can get involved in our work.

Packed full of interesting features, this edition includes information on funding for rural businesses and rural communities, grants available for farmers and landowners, tackling climate change in the AONB and ways to help wildlife.

Leanne Fox, AONB Information Officer, said, “This year we have decided to trial an e-version of the Autumn newsletter to reduce our use of paper and save money on printing and distribution costs. The new look newsletter is only available from the AONB website or by email, so we are asking residents to log on and download their copy or contact us to ask for an email version.” If you would like a copy of the AONB e-newsletter please visit the AONB website at www.nidderdaleaonb.org.uk/nidderdale-82 where you can download a copy.

Alternatively you can email us at nidderdaleaonb@harrogate.gov.uk with the text 'SUBSCRIBE AUTUMN 2009' in the subject bar and we will email you a copy.
