MORE than 150 people went to Warrington’s Paddington Meadows for a day of guided walks, family activities, willow weaving and drone flying.
It was one of 125 events national to celebrate the nation’s remaining meadows and encourage people to conserve and restore those that are left.
The 60-acre Paddington Meadows was one of the stars of the North West.
Inspired by the Royal Society for the Protection Birds and Wildlife Trusts with central funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the day was blessed with beautiful sunshine.
Organised by the New Cut Ecology and Heritage group working in partnership with Warrington Borough Council and the Carbon Landscape organisation the day was heralded as another success for the team.
A spokesperson for the group said: “Our aim is to conserve and restore the meadows and the New Cut Canal and it was pleasing to see so many people come along to share the day”
The weather was so hot that organisers brought in extra bottled water to distribute free to the visitors.
Paddington Meadows support a wide variety of wildlife and are noted for the number of relatively rare birds they support and for having the oldest hedgerows in Cheshire.
