A WILDLIFE survey has produced some ‘interesting’ results a month after its launch.

Prospects, a community-owned environmental charity based in Hyndburn, initiated the ‘Improving Hyndburn’s Wildlife’ survey last month.

The results reveal Hyndburn people are ‘quite good’ at providing habitats for wildlife through flowers, trees and boxes, said project officer Barbara Sharples.

The project officer said: “In the coming months we will be running workshops so people can make their own bird and bat boxes, ladybird and bug hotels, hedgehog homes, plant pots of herbs and wildflowers for bees and insects and we will be showing people how to create water feeders, wildflower borders and natural areas for wildlife.

“There will be demonstrations on how to create a pond and other habitats and Prospects will run visits to woodlands and green spaces that attract a lot of wildlife thanks to good management.”

The project, which has received £19,887 from People’s Postcode Lottery, is running until December 2018.

A Prospects open day will be held at 54 Broadway, Accrington, on February 10am to 4pm.
