The second riverfly survey of the season done and dusted down on the River Tawd. Results will be uploaded onto a national database and the information collected will help in improving our waterways.
We invited Victoria from Tawd Valley Developments Ltd to the classroom so we could show our appreciation for the very generous donation of a storage cabin from TVD Ltd. The support of the community and local businesses is essential to continue our excellent work. Thank you again.
Something different today for our volunteers. CJ gave a talk on how to use iNaturalist app. It's designed to record, share and discuss observations of nature. Meanwhile, some volunteers decided to do some hedge trimming behind the classroom to ensure safe access. Thank you all.
Team Tawd were out in force this morning along with Ranger Chris litter picking throughout the valley. Great work everyone, thank you.
Our volunteers have been busy! A big thanks to everyone that got involved, it's been a great week for rivers 💙 If you'd like to become a volunteer then sign up at ribbletrust.org.uk/volunteer. Each week we'll send you an email of upcoming events, if any take your fancy just sign up!
10:30am to near midnight. Now that was a long day, but it was worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed the @FieldStudiesC and @ARC_Bytes Natterjack Toad course yesterday. Fantastic tutors, beautiful locations and best of all, amazing wildlife. Some species in photos held under license.
FoTV was up and out for 5:20am to help on the WLBC Ranger Service hosted Dawn Chorus event. It was led by fantastic local wildlife expert and enthusiast - Graham Clarkson.
Congratulations to our CJ! Ormskirk Clocktower Rotary nominated CJ for the Rotary Young Citizen Award last year and he was handed his certificate for a highly commended nominee last night at the bat walk. Well done, CJ. 👍🦇🙂
We were honoured to host a bat walk in Tawd Valley Park for members of Ormskirk Clocktower Rotary and Skelmersdale / Upholland Rotary this evening. We saw and heard some amazing wildlife. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
It's almost time for the The Big River Watch! 👀 So, on the 3rd-6th May, spend 15 minutes observing your local river and record what you see with the Big River Watch app. Then @theriverstrust will transform the info into a national dataset. Read more👉 theriverstrust.org/take-action/th…
Our rivers are a little cleaner now, thanks to our wonderful volunteers! 🌍 It’s been a busy weekend for Team Ribble, with clean-ups at Hoghton Bottoms and Penwortham. As always, thanks to everyone who turned out to help us in our mission to clean up our rivers 💙
Great article in @WigToday about the brilliant work being done by the 'Super Sams' alongside partners and volunteers to improve water quality and ensure that local rivers are places that people can enjoy and where wildlife can thrive. @DouglasPilot wigantoday.net/news/environme…
We're supporting #BeWaterAware If someone gets into difficulty in water, remember to call, tell, throw: 📲Call 999 ⭐️Tell the person to float in a starfish shape on their back 🛟Throw them something that floats @NFCC_FireChiefs #RespectTheWater
Second day done. I'm made up to now have @IFMFish electric fishing accredited training under my belt. I look forward to hopefully getting some experience hours in over the summer months. Great weekend and brilliant hosts. Really enjoyed it.
First day of @IFMFish electric fishing training done and dusted. I'm looking forward to the practical tomorrow. Now time for a little revision and rest.
The volunteers of Team Tawd joined forces with Ranger Chris, guys from Groundworks and a team from CCNW to carry on the continued green engineering work on the banks of the river to prevent further erosion, using the hazel and willow bundles they made recently. Great work all.
Really proud of the group of people that have worked so hard to deliver this @RibbleTrust @WLBC_Rangers and @EnvAgencyNW project, but with input and support from lots of others too. Thanks to you all (you know who you are!) 💚💙💚💙💚
