Old Moor

We're creating a wildlife garden at our Old Moor nature reserve in the Dearne Valley, South Yorkshire. Follow the garden's progress and see what comes to visit! We'll also be bringing you the latest news from the reserve. 

No Wellies Allowed!

I hope that a few of you managed to catch 'The National Lottery Big 7' on Saturday 5 September to watch RSPB Old Moor win a cash prize and a hefty award. If you did, you will have seen muggins here one or two times, but sadly without the promised wellie-boots! (We weren't allowed - far too dangerous!)

I hope that if you did vote for us you were not too disappointed. At least you got to see some real conservation bodies in all their finery! 

We're thrilled to bits and can already feel the swell of support for our work manifested in visitor numbers on the reserve. If you caught a glimpse of it on the programme and liked what you saw, next time you're in the area, come and check out the reserve (and wildlife garden) for yourself.

It was a real joy to see RSPB Old Moor win live on TV on Saturday!  And the National Lottery web site still has the video that they showed: www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/.../video.cfm.  (Those cute little ducklings...!)
