The children are distributing posters to warn people of the dangers of starting fires.
Cllr Jodie Ryalls, who represents Dalton and Thrybergh on Rotherham Borough Council, said: “After the fires around Herringthorpe Valley Park and Hollings Lane at Thrybergh, we have a bit of positivity that children in the community are taking matters into their own hands and distributing posters around the park to warn people why setting fires is dangerous and what it also does to our wildlife, also affecting people in our communities whose homes are nearby.
“In the picture is my nephew Noah who is 10. He couldn’t sit back and do nothing.
“Since the fires he was upset about what has been done to the wildlife and the effect and impact it’s had on our communities as a whole.”
