Lakes Watch is a new initiative, a partnership between the RSPB at Fen Drayton Lakes and Cambridgeshire Constabulary, and it will be launched on Sunday 19 December.
It is based on the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme, and our neighbours and regular visitors are encouraged to join in.
Since the RSPB acquired Fen Drayton Lakes, there has been a marked decrease in vandalism here - and with your help, we'd like to reduce it to zero. Lakes Watchers will receive a welcome pack, including a handy little card of useful phone numbers. Anyone who discovers something that they are concerned about - a cow or sheep on a footpath, some fly-tipping, or someone where perhaps they shouldn't be - can instantly report what they have found (assuming they are carrying the card and a mobile phone, of course).
Join us on Sunday, if the ice and snow doesn't prevent your visit - or contact us by e-mail (fendraytonlakes@rspb.org.uk) at any time if you'd like to help in this way.
