An exciting habitat restoration project is underway at Crosscanonby Carr Nature Reserve. The area - which is the first nature reserve in the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, was previously the site of an abandoned car park. Now it is an area filled with woodland, meadow and wetland and is a haven for animals, birds and plants. After consultation with experts in fields such as biodiversity, conservation and water management, it has been decided that it would be a great step forward for the Nature Reserve to reroute the waterway. This work will complement the work planned to be carried out by Cumbria County Council and Highways England to fix the culverts under both roads.

The first visible, sniffable, glorious bursts of spring make the final straight of lockdown agonising. Perhaps, like me, you carry from childhood an inner voice that says pleasant weather must not be wasted. As kids, on sunny March mornings, my brothers and I lived in semi-terror of our mother rumbling up the stairs into our rooms with seize-the-day vigour.
This rarely involved a motion to lounge about eating Sherbet Dip Dabs and watching Tiswas. No, but it could involve being stuffed into an Austin Maxi and whisked to the Solway Coast to paddle in rock pools close to the Sellafield nuclear reactor, before sharing a pork pie brought from home and featuring a terrifying, greying boiled egg suspended in jelly. Or “potted meat” spread into sliced baps, though from which specific animal this peppery mush came remained a mystery. Importantly, it was drummed into us from the outset that a warm, bright day should be used, even if that involved a four-hour roun

Cumbria is among a select few sites where the natterjack toad can be spotted in the UK. Dynamic Dunescapes and Amphibian and Reptile Conservation are looking for volunteers to record sightings of the amphibians at locations including Walney Island and the Millom area. The natterjack toad is at risk because its habitat is being damaged. Visit the current volunteering opportunities section of cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk for more information. rare natterjack toads on Cumbria’s coast Smaller than the common toad, the natterjack toad is very rare, found in only around 60 places in the UK. We are lucky enough to have a few of these sites here in Cumbria and you now have the opportunity to help with the conservation of this threatened amphibian.
