Admin reserve the right to remove anything about domestic pets, or anything likely to offend, whacky humour excepted. This will be an open group to start, but once we have a few members will revert to a closed group. Further info to follow.

- West Lancashire Nature Notes This Facebook group is here to enable members to celebrate, enjoy, promote & share information about the wonderful wildlife, nature and landscapes of West Lancashire and adjacent areas. This includes the wonderful nature reserves of Martin Mere, Mere Sands Wood, Hesketh Out Marsh, Banks Marsh, Marshside, Gorse Hill, Scutchers Acres and our local coastline. Just as importantly it includes our gardens, open spaces, parks and our glorious and productive farms & countryside. This group can be a great place to let others know about issues & problems facing our wildlife and countryside, such as; planning issues, illegal land management activity, illegal hunting or persecution or to ask for help.... Please do share your local wildlife, nature & natural landscape photographs, videos, updates sightings & news. Feel free to discuss land management & wildlife gardening & how to attract species to your patch. Whilst we welcome photos of domestic livestock in the context of conservation management and landscape please avoid sharing photos of captive animals & birds - it would be easy to get inundated with pictures of Nenes & Flamingos from Martin Mere...
