HORSEPOWER is being used to help RSPB Geltsdale go green!

Wardens at the reserve have been enlisting the services of Jazz, a sturdy cob, to help transport equipment and materials around the rugged moorland site.

Jazz has been kitted out with a custom-made harness, allowing her to carry fence posts and saplings across the site work previously done by Land Rover and Quad bikes.

Jazz can also carry equipment up to rare bird nesting sites where it is critical to limit disturbance and carry rucksacks for visitors on guided walks.
