Kildale, was over the moon.Now when my granddaughter stared nursery the first thing I looked for was a nature table not only just that but a range of nature books and magazines, very impressed and told the teacher I was a nest recorder for the BTO, NRS and told her I have a selection of old nests, huge selection of skulls and a large box of al things nature and Magazines has both my grandchildren are RSPB members so lent them skulls, nests and gave them copies of some of the magazines and books. The youngsters are the next generation of conservationists and we alone must do all we can to encourage there love of nature. Its not just up to schools but us has individuals tooDamian</blockquote>
