Ian Jelley, Reserves Volunteering Officer at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust says, УHas anyone asked you, СWhat have you given up for Lent?Т Instead of giving something up, which seems a bit negative, why not make a positive decision to do just one thing. Warwickshire Wildlife Trust are working in partnership with the BBC to encourage people to do just one thing for wildlife. Joining in with one of our regular work parties or participating in a bird survey are just two suggestions.Ф ENDS Press contact: Ian Jelley on 024 7630 8998
