The Oldham & Rochdale Nature Conservation Advisory Group has invited Dave O'Hara RSPB Project Manger to give a presentation on the new Dovestones RSPB reserve. As it is recognised that this will be of interest to many people, the group is extending an open invitation to non members to attend.
The presentation will start at 7pm on 18th November at:
Saddleworth Museum
High Street
Uppermill
Oldham

Car parking is available immediately outside the venue.

Public transport is via train to Greenfield Station or number 184 bus from Oldham Bus Station to Uppermill. Bus stops approx 50m from venue.

If anyone with an interest in nature conservation in Oldham & Rochdale would like to attend future meetings of the group, please drop me a pm or email, and I'll happily provide you with more information about the group.

Steve

Hi Mike,

There has been a discussion about the new RSPB reserve under the Saddleworth thread which is the reason why you couldn't find it. confuse.gif
Probably a cunning ploy by the locals to stop too many people finding out about it biggrin.gif

I've used the search and didn't see any other mention of this so I thought I would post it

The RSPB are currently in the process of taking over management of a new reserve near Saddleworth - Dove Stone. It will be 40km2 of moorland with a full range of visitor activities centred at Dove Stone Reservoir.

They we will have lots of volunteer opportunities there from late 2009/early 2010, ranging from practical conservation work, surveying as well as showing people birds and running events and leading guided walks.

Also you can have a say in the development of the site here
Anyone interested in volunteering could email kirsten.whittaker@rspb.org.uk

Regards

Mike
