Valley joined in the annual' celebrations for World Book Day, which is fast becoming . a firm fixture in the educa­


tional calenday. Designed to celebrate and


promote all things to do with books and reading - not just for children but adults too - World Book Day provides a great opporetunity to rekin­


dle our love for the written word. And at schools right across the country, it is also a chance for children to bring the pages of their favourite books to life, by dressing up as the characters from them. Thisyearwas no exception .

scoops top dog award


A talented 29-year-old photographer from Preston has secured the prestig­ ious title of the Kennel Club’s Dog Pho­ tographer of the Year with her portrait of a playful Ribble Valley pup. Cat Race entered the international


competition with her photograph of Tinkerbell the Great Dane puppy, which was taken in Brungerley Park. Cat said: “I wasn’t intending to take photographs of Tinkerbell that day, she


just happened to be in the location at the same time as I was finishing another shoot. She had just begun to playfully stalkmy Chihuahua, Poppy, andlseized the opportunity to snap the picture. “I have entered many of the catego­


ries in the competition over the past two years as it combines my two key passions of dogs and photography. It’s also myjob as I set up my own business Cat’s Dog Photography after I realised I epjoyed dogshoots the most when in my old job taking family portraits.” Cat, who collected her award at


Crufts on Saturday, concluded: “It’s an honour to be recognised by such a repu­ table organisation as The Kennel Club and the prestige of receiving this award will just further my drive and motiva­ tion. I love to capture each dog’s individ­ ual character and personality and hope to continuously improve my work.”

A neglected lodge in Clithe­ roe has received a cash boost from a ground-breaking envi­ ronmental creditscheme.


Clitheroe’s man-made res­ ervoir, Primrose Lodge, was registered with The Envi­ ronment Bank in the North West’s first ‘biodiversity off­ setting’ scheme two years ago.


Biodiversity offsetting al­


lows developers to purchase conservation credits from The Environment Bank, which are used to fund the creation and managementof conservation sites. The cash boost will kick-start a scheme to restore the neglected lodge to its former glory. Conservation c redits


measure a site’s biodiversity value based on factors such asthepresence ofhabitats for flora and fauna. Each credit is awarded a monetary val­ ue, which can be purchased by developers to pay for the creation and enhancement of “receptor sites”, such as Prim­


rose Lodge. Ribble Valley Borough


Council’s countryside offic­ er, David Hewitt, said: “Biodi­ versity offsetting is a dynamic initiativeallowing the pooling of credits for the renovation- of bigger and more strategi­ cally placed sites, such as Primrose Lodge. Registering Primrose Lodge as a receptor site has raised funds to help create a local nature reserve that will be an important re­ source for local people. “We are delighted to have


taken part in this Environ­ ment Bank pilot scheme, which is the first in the North West." Primrose Lodge is a man­


made reservoir built for manufacturing processing and the generation of power for factories at Clitheroe’s Primrose works. It is already a Lancashire biological herit­ age site and the council is con­ sulting with the Lancashire Wildlife Trust on how the site might be transformed into a nature reserve.
