Volunteers are needed to help with a variety of Lancaster Canal Trust projects over the next few months – and there’s a nature event listed below that may interest many of our readers coming up, too.

• Volunteers are needed to help create a community Nature Park near the Lune Aqueduct, Lancaster, with work starting this month and running to the end of March. Contact David Hennessey on 07500 606030 or david.hennessey@canalrivertrust.org.uk.

• A bird watching walk will take place at Glasson Docks on the River Lune Estuary on 18th January  from 8.00 to 10.00am.  Grab your binoculars and join Canal and River Trust  for an exciting bird watch session. Again contact David for more information.
