About the project
Stepping Stones is a programme of environmental projects within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The programme covers an area of 220km² and includes two major sites of importance for nature conservation: Long Mynd and the Stiperstones.
At its core the Stepping Stones programme is seeking to restore a healthy and wildlife-rich environment within the Shropshire Hills landscape by understanding and influencing the main drivers for change within area.
Everyone can do their bit for Stepping Stones, whether this is by the creation of new or maintenance of existing wildlife habitats, large or small, or by supporting local groups to record and monitor wildlife as well as to help with the practical management of sites.
