Long Preston - Forest of Bowland
Long Preston Floodplain Project - walk and talk Thur 11th Jun, Wigglesworth An illustrated talk and walk by Dave Tayler (Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust) and Adrian Shepherd (Floodplain Project Officer) on Thursday 11th June 2015 at 6.30 pm at Clarkâs Old School, Wigglesworth At Long Preston, the River Ribble still floods naturally every year over the adjacent land, which is of national importance for its wildlife. It is also of particular archaeological interest. For the last 10 years, this area has been home to an exciting and forward-thinking project which aims to boost both its conservation and its economic value through working with local landowners, farmers and other interests. After a short introduction to the area and the project, Dave and Adrian will lead us on to the site as far as the new bird hide. Although this is a short walk, it includes one stile. Please brings waterproofs and stout shoes/boots (waders not necessary!) Refreshments available, FREE TALK donations welcome to the Friends of Bowland. Members and non-members welcome.
