Press Release
FRIENDS CLEAR NATURE SPOT
Link: Astonfields Balancing Lakes Local Nature Reserve
Work is being carried out this weekend to tidy up a local nature spot.
People are being asked to help out at a conservation day at Aston Balancing Lakes Local Nature Reserve on Sunday (January 13).
The Lakes is a ten acre site close to the centre of Stafford and volunteers are asked to meet at the Schott Glass building on Astonfields Industrial Estate.
The clear up is a joint venture by Stafford Borough Council and the 'Friends of Astonfields Balancing Lakes.' The 'Conservation Day' kicks off at 10am and is expected to last for around four hours as volunteers help clear an area of reedbed and seasonal vegetation.
Work on this Local Nature Reserve is one of a number of council initiatives aimed at achieving sustainable development and a better quality of life now and in the future.
Anyone interested in joining the volunteers should contact Bill Waller, the council's Biodiversity officer, on 01785 619676. Volunteers should wear sensible clothing and footwear. Tools will be provided.
For more information on biodiversity projects visit the council's website at www.staffordbc.gov.uk/la21.
