Roll up your sleeves to improve environment!


by Duncan Smith


IF you would like to become actively involved in conservation work in your community, this


weekend offers the ideal opportu­ nity. On Saturday, conservation volun­


teers will meet from 10-30 a.m. at Salthill Quarry, Clitheroe, the home of the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire,


Manchester and N. Merseyside


Nature Reserve. The Trust organises regular work


parties at the reserve, which is especially important for its geology, and its won­ derful wild flowers. Mr John Lamb, the Trust’s Conser­


vation Officer for Blast Lancashire, said: “Not many people realise that Clitheroe used to be under the sea. Admittedly it was more than 340 million years agol “The remains of the sea creatures that lived all that time ago created the


limestone that was quarried at the site. “It has left us with an important


habitat that is rare in Lancashire. It requires careful management to keep it


in good order for the wildlife" Anyone interested in getting involved can go along on Saturday to find out


more. The reserve is just past the auction


mart in Lincoln Way, on Salthill Indus­


trial Estate. No experience is necessary, as volun­ teers will be shown on the day what to


do. Wear boots or other sensible out­ door footwear and bring along water­ proofs and warm clothes. Volunteers will also need a packed


lunch and a drink if staying for the full day. The activities will end at 3 p.m. at the latest.


■ Everyone is welcome and visitors can


help with some of the tasks or simply, use the time to find out more about this fascinating site. For more information contact John. Lamb on 01772 317240'.

Safety campaign gets thumbs up


HIGH visibility jackets donated to local schoolchildren met with thumbs-up all round. Youngsters aged five to seven from Bren-


nand’s Endowed Primary School, Slaidburn, received 40 fluorescent jackets from Warbur- tons bakery, as part of their new campaign “Use your loaf for road safety”. Commenting on the donation, Fluorescent


Representative, Mrs Sue Souter explained: “The school was delighted to have received the luminous jackets and could not believe what a good idea it was. “They will be worn when the children go


out on visits from school.” The new initiative, launched earlier this


month, reinforces the key message amongst pupils'raising awareness of being safe while out and about. “Safety is our top priority. We have given


1,000 jackets to schools across the North West in order to help children be seen while out. “Of course the jackets are an extendible


resource. If good care is taken, they can last a long time,” added Mrs Souter. Pictured is Mrs Anne Lamkin from War-


burtons, with pupils from the school (from left) Sarah Tedstone (nine), Charlotte Row­ land (seven) and Stephen Harrison (ten), keeping safe by wearing the new safety jack­ ets. (K191103/2)
