Help new survey on wildlife
Nature lovers are being asked to record the species they see along the banks of Lancashire's canals as part of a national survey.
British Waterways is asking everyone visiting the Lancaster Canal's Northern Reaches and Preston's Millennium Ribble Link to take part in a national online nature survey.
The results will be used to create a database listing all the wildlife found on Britain's waterways.
The database will be used to help manage and protect the ecology and biodiversity found by the canals and rivers.
Chris John, ecologist from British Waterways North West, said: "The survey is really important to the health of the North West's waterway wildlife as it will help us to spot any alarming ups or downs in the numbers of animals.
"We hope people will pay a visit to their local waterside and let us know what they see."
