The Wildlife Trust are seeking to raise £50,000 to buy an amazing piece of land almost right next to my house.

Brockholes Quarry is right next to the four lane (or 8 lane depending on how you count it) section of the M6 at Preston and is pretty much encircled by the River Ribble.

It’s difficult to get access at present, but the variety of wildlife looks to be terrific, it would make a fabulous place for a wildlife reserve.

They only have 4 weeks to do it though (or at least they did when they started).
