On Friday 26th January, I visited the RSPB Old Moor nature reserve in Wombwell to have a tour of the site and see the activities the reserve offers for the local area.

During my visit I enjoyed pond dipping with children from Goldthorpe Primary, highlighting the important work the reserve carries out with local schools, and also enjoyed bird watching.

I was pleased to hear about the important work the reserve is undertaking to protect our natural environment and wildlife, and I look forward to working closely with the reserve in future.
