Staffordshire Wildlife Trust Tuckleshome Quarry Appeal

STAFFORDSHIRE WILDLIFE TRUST TUCKLESHOLME QUARRY APPEAL: BRING BREEDING BITTERNS BACK TO STAFFORDSHIRE

To donate to our appeal click here:

It is over 100 years since breeding bitterns were last recorded in Staffordshire. Help Staffordshire Wildlife Trust change history and bring breeding bitterns back to Staffordshire.

What is a bittern? The bittern (Botaurus stellaris) is one of the UK's rarest birds. Bitterns are members of the heron family and are best known for the characteristic boom noise that the male of the species makes from late January to mark its territory.

How rare are bitterns? Bitterns were declared extinct in England around 1885. In recent years great efforts by wildlife organisations has enabled a small breeding population to become re-established in Suffolk, Norfolk and Lancashire, but numbers remain critically low at just 75 pairs.

Why are bitterns so rare? Bitterns live and breed in large reedbeds. In the 1800's most of the UK's reedbeds were drained to create farmland and numbers plummeted. Staffordshire simply does not have the reedbeds that these secretive birds need.

How will Staffordshire Wildlife Trust bring back breeding bitterns to Staffordshire? Our plan is to create the largest reedbed in the Trent valley through the restoration of gravel workings at Tucklesholme quarry near Burton upon Trent.

Will you really be able to bring breeding bitterns back to Staffordshire? We think this is possible. At Tucklesholme we will create the perfect habitat for bitterns to breed. We also plan to create channels between the river and the lake to allow fish and other wildlife to move freely so conditions couldn't be better. In recent years there have been a handful of bittern sightings in Staffordshire so we know the birds spend time in the county already.

How can I help? Please donate to our appeal. We need to raise £25,000 from our supporters through this appeal to enable us to buy Tucklesholme Quarry and create perfect habitat for bittern.

Everybody who donates £25 or more will be invited to visit Tucklesholme in Spring 2014.

Video tour of new Staffordshire Hoard Gallery – Birmingham

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery

Visit the fascinating Staffordshire Hoard gallery at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery with Andy Horn, the Exhibition Manager and Pieta Greaves, the Hoard’s Conservation Manager.

The Hoard is the largest amount of Anglo Saxon gold and silver ever found in Britain and this permanent exhibition tells the story of the finding and conserving of more than 4000 objects.

Here the treasures are on display and their full beauty can be explored using the latest touch-table technology.

Visitors of all ages learn of the mysterious craftsmen who produced such fine jewellery using precious stones from the further reaches of the known-world to make adornments for the arms and amour of warriors who step out from the pages of “Beowulf”.

The stories of these men and women come to life in the “Mead Hall” within the exhibit where children can dress-up as Anglo Saxons.
