Protect our Landscape from Wind Turbines
Join us in safeguarding North Yorkshire's beauty.
Our Mission Statement
To save the splendour of the Yorkshire Dales and The North Pennines landscape of national character from inappropriate industrialisation by preventing the development of a wind farm with 23 x 200m high turbines. This ecological haven, set in a beautifully wild, bio-diverse natural corridor contains peat land full of historical heritage and must remain intact for future generations.
We strongly oppose the proposal and plan to develop 23 x 200 meter (656 foot) high wind turbines, with all the associated industrial scale infrastructure by the developer Fred. Olsen Renewables on Barningham & Holgate & East Arkengathdale Estates (owned by the Milbank and Torstenson families). The site borders Arkengarthdale, The Yorkshire Dales National Park & The North Pennines National Landscape- a UNESCO Global Geopark . We aim to save the destruction of a national landscape, a restored peat land, an ecological haven and a wild biodiverse corridor which is home to 24 Red listed birds as well as important sites of pre-historic rock carvings.
