Red squirrel with nesting material

Lancashire Wildlife Trust

In January we enjoyed a whistle-stop Zoom tour of the work of Lancashire Wildlife Trust, through an illustrated talk by Louise Bentley, one of the Trust’s volunteers. Click the ‘Continue Reading’ button to find a recording of the meeting. Louise covered a great deal of ground, from projects to help Water Voles and Red Squirrels, to wetland and sand dune restoration work, and much more.

If you love nature and the environment you should be a member of your local Wildlife Trust. It’s a great way of helping wildlife in your area – even better if you can volunteer your time as well – and the more members, the louder their voice when talking to local politicians.
Joining Lancashire Wildlife Trust is quick and easy – just click here – it’s almost as cheap as joining RFNS!

Many Field Nats members are LWT members too, and this was a great opportunity to ask a few searching questions of the Trust, as you will see on the video. Lancashire Wildlife Trust have responded to those questions and their comments can be read in full here

Louise recommended several excellent books to us too.
