In July 2003, musician Hugh Nankivell worked with pupils from Moor End Primary School and GCSE music students from Rhyddings High School to create a collection of new songs in response to their visits to Foxhill Nature Reserve in Oswaldtwistle. Ten new songs were composed and performed in front of an invited audience at the High School. The performance was recorded and a CD was distributed to all who took part.
In a related project, also in July 2003, video artist Jack Lockhart and Jill Penny worked with a local youth club in Oswaldtwistle to make a film about their response to the Nature Reserve. The young people created their own story-board, filmed and acted in the film themselves, supported by the two artists. The film was given a public showing at the Youth Club.
