On Thursday 16th May we got lucky with some sunny weather as National Highways paid a visit to Peel Park & the Coppice LNR. National Highway have been funding the Network 4 Nature project across the UK, creating biodiverse habitats along our roads and highways in collaboration with The Wildlife Trust. This includes the Accrington Bypass (A56) which borders Peel Park.
The project has been funding Lancashire Wildlife Trust which has then in turn been funding PROSPECTS to help carry out the work with the help of volunteers in the Peel Park Pollinators Project.
The visit produced this fantastic video, highlighting the importance of de-fragmenting habitats to boost biodiversity.
