Allerdale council is helping to bring the great outdoors indoors, to help with home schooling. Partnership officers have created videos for primary school children in Workington so that they can continue to learn about the wildlife that can be discovered at Harrington Nature Reserve and Siddick Ponds nature reserve. Workington Nature Partnership s nature ranger, Susan Cammish, created the videos to enhance the learning in the topic ‘Stems, Stalks and Stings’ - being studied by KS1 children at Beckstone Primary School, Harrington. The Key Stage 1 team have been uploading the film clips onto the school’s remote learning platform for parents and children to use as part of the daily virtual lessons.
THE discovery of human faeces on a Workington nature reserve has disgusted and disappointed local rangers who look after the site. Workington Nature Partnership ranger Susan Cammish dedicates her time to maintaining public spaces in the area – and she is saddened by the way people treat them. But she says finding human faeces at nature reserves, including at Harrington Nature Reserve, is just a step too far. She said: “It’s nothing new. We can clear one to four bags of litter every time we’re in the area. There is just no let up. “At this time of the year we do get historical litter that has been hidden but now the vegetation has died back we can get to it.
