Each county has its own independent trust whose national umbrella organisation is the Royal Society for Nature Conservation.<br />RobRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03237472076391330187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071315363222503671.post-37242390862764242392011-03-24T09:00:39.634+00:002011-03-24T09:00:39.634+00:00Julia

They do say, however, that it there is less impact on the environment retaining even a gas guzzler than buying a new car. No choice for me so I'm on the side of the angels by good luck on this one.<br />Rob<br />RobRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03237472076391330187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071315363222503671.post-75193980359887550762011-03-24T01:03:47.116+00:002011-03-24T01:03:47.116+00:00Rob,
