environmental education, by no means all in the classroom.
He was Education Officer for the
New Forest for some time, showing visitors round and explaining the many features of the forest apart from the obvious trees. Recently Mr Fisher, who comes from Old ham and trained a t the University of London, started an environmen tal group locally. I ts launch was rep o r ted la s t month in th e Clitheroe Advertiser and Times and a lre ad y th e re are some 30 active family members.
The trip to Ontario will see Mr
Fisher joining an established scien tific team researching the forest, which has very tall trees up to 400 years old. The animal life is also important, and Mr Fisher will be gathering material relevant to his school lessons as well as personal interests. Something of an eco-war- rior though with a stric t ly legal approach, he is keen to spread the message about the importance and vulnerability of the environment to
as many people as possible. "I have a passion for woodlands
and love wild places, and I want to be able to teach from first hand about a major global issue that has a significant impact a t local level," he says. A key feature of the fellow ship scheme is that winners under take an educational programme on
their return. Mr Fisher will natu rally be passing on his experiences to colleagues and pupils a t Bow- land and the environmental group. But he will also be available for talks and lectures elsewhere.

GREEN-FINGERED pupils at Pendle County Primary School
have potted their way to success. Youngsters, including those in our pho
tograph, spent the run up to the school's first spring fair in a decade painting flower pots and nurturing plants to sell alongside cakes, books and crafts.
The fair, organised by the friends'
group at the school, raised more than £600, which will be spent on classroom improvements and the school's new wildlife garden, featured in last week's Advertiser and Times. Other attractions included a bouncy castle, football and net- ball competitions and a refreshments stall. (250499/30/04)

Mobile phones put to good use fighting crime
TH E "mobile phone syndrome" is now showing through in police emergency call
figures. The Ribble Valley is one area where
more and more people are using mobiles to ring in - about "road rage" driving inci d e n ts and s im i la r m a t te r s , as well as
crimes. Acting Deputy Chief Constable Mr
David Smith says that, across the county, the sheer volume of calls being received is making it diffcult to meet handling targets. But more than 92 per cent of people who
have used the police's services have been satisfied with the overall service delivery - an extremely gratifying figure, says Mr Smith. Road casualties have gone down in the
past year by 8.5 per cent, against the target of five per cent. But crime and nuisance and disorder incidents have not gone down as much. However, they are being reduced, assures Mr Smith.

Warning goes out to beware deadly weed
FARMERS are being warned to be on their guard against a potentially deadly species of weed which is becoming rife in
the Ribble Valley. According to the Country Landowners'
Association, highly toxic ragwort, which can cause fatal liver damage in grazing ani mals such as horses, cattle and sheep, has been multiplying dramatically throughout the region and can now bo found not only in open countryside, but in, gardens, parks and on roadside verges. To advise on identifying and combating
th e menace,the CLA is offering a free leaflet, available by sending an SAE to its regional headquarters a t Dalton Hall, Sta
ble Yard, Burton. The fight against ragwort has the back
ing of the Ministry of Agriculture, the British Horse Society, the Animal Health Trust and the National Equine Welfare
Council.
