Lunchtime Talk: Curlew Recovery in the Cocker Valley
About
The song of the curlew is one of the iconic harbingers of spring, but the numbers of breeding curlews in UK have halved over the last 25 years. There is real concern that, if no action is taken, curlews will disappear within a few years, and curlew song will be lost from the valley forever.The Curlew Recovery Project was set up to work with local farmers and landowners to attempt to reverse this decline. The talk will explain why curlew numbers are declining so rapidly and discuss about what steps have been taken so far in the Project and what the results have been.
