Work is shortly to start on our first project with the Forestry Commission. The aim is to benefit riparian woodland conservation and this site is ideally placed as it is adjacent to Leck Beck. We will fell non-native conifers and replace them by planting a hedgerow of native species as well as individual trees. We will also provide bird-boxes for declining species such as spotted flycatcher, marsh tit, tree pipit, wood warbler, redstart, dipper and long-eared owl, all of which are present in this area. Our work will also enhance Leck Beck which is important for BAP species such as salmon, migratory trout, eels, otters and bats.
Budget £4k
Thanks to funding from Cumbria Community Foundation and the Order of Women’s Freemasons Lodge Lancaster No. 321 we have been able to upgrade our IT equipment to improve our presentations to community groups and schools. Our talks are proving popular and help us to explain our work whilst highlighting the importance of protecting and restoring the Lune catchment for future generations. If you would like us to come and talk to your group or school, please contact our Secretary (Sarah Littlefield).
