The Sandwell Valley Naturalists Club was founded in 1975 by 27 naturalists, both amateur and professional, who were concerned about the future of the valley within its urban setting. Several recording projects were initiated and have been in the main continued over the past years by an increasing number of enthusiasts. The club liaises with the local authorities who have the valley under their jurisdiction over management and conservation matters. The Valley comes under both Sandwell/West Bromwich, (Sandwell Valley Country Park), and Birmingham. The valley is continually under threat at its margins by developers.
