Three Peaks Success for Wildlife Workers

A team from Dorset Wildlife Trust has conquered Britain’s Three Peaks to raise money for Dorset’s watery wildlife. The ‘Do Summit for Wildlife’ team tackled the awesome Three Peaks Challenge this month, scaling Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales, all within 24 hours.

All the money raised will go towards protecting wildlife across the county. The team is hoping to raise £3000 for pond, river and marine wildlife.

Amanda Broom, who works at the Urban Wildlife Centre in Corfe Mullen, said: “There were a few tough moments but we all came through smiling in the end and we literally feel on top of the world now. It’s not too late to donate at www.justgiving.com/do-summit-for-wildlife and help us reach our target.”

The other team members were: volunteer Gareth Broom from Poole, Upton Heath Warden Andy Fale, Biodiversity Officer Anna Muckle, Emily Newton from the West Dorset team, Mid-Dorset Warden Steve Oliver, Manager Andrew Pollard, Conservation Officer Sarah Williams and their driver, Brownsea Island nature reserve manager Chris Thain.
