Bittern Countryside Community Interest Company

A summary of the company's principal activities is as follows: Our Business Plan for 2022-2026 highlighted 3 categories we are addressing: Protect and Restore Nature, Build a waste free world and, Fix our Climate. These three are all interconnected and working towards one of the aims will have benefits for the other two. In order to enable everyone to take their part in protecting and restoring Nature, people need to know about and enjoy the Flora and Fauna of our area. The Wildlife Atlases continue to facilitate this. The Sustainable Schools' Project (2022-2024) has left a lasting legacy and we will be buiding on this in our Climate and Nature Project (2023-2026) over the next two years. We have £2,596 left from the initial grant and an additional £3,500 was given in 2025 to work with the ASNL unit and our local schools and community organisations such as Sustainable Arnside with an emphasis on Climate and Nature. Work is well underway on the Arnside/Silverdale National Landscape Nature Recovery Strategy. Some of our shareholders are working with the ASNL team and other volunteers to bring this about. One of the projects is a five year initiative to study the flora of the ASNL in a more scientific manner. We are hosting this on our website. Financially we remain on a sound footing and we have managed to further our aims. We always welcome suggestions from our shareholders as to further possible initiatives. The Company continues to maintain a website hosted by A2A Advertising Ltd. The website enables anyone to download resources on Nature and Energy Saving for free.
