Good news for Tree Sparrows

I am pleased to be able to report that the application to SITA for funding to carry out the proposed Tree Sparrow project at Jay House Lane has been succesful. As a result of the efforts of the Countryside Unit (in particular Edie Jolley and Hugh Firman) and part funding from the CBCG the project will now be able to go ahead. Several people have played an important role in obtaining this funding which alongside the hard work on the ground by people such as Sean Gray, Jane Uttley etc will hopefully enable us to improve and extend the suitable habitat for this species at its last (?) remaining site in Calderdale.

Thanks to all those who have worked to achieve this.
