Frigoscandia Distribution, based in Hoddesdon. Herts, recently donated 2.240 to the RSPB's Rye House Marsh Nature Reserve, also in Hoddesdon. The donation to the RSPB Secondary Environmental Education Programme will housed to buy a selection of pond life and insect-catching nets for children to use during school field visits. It makes a nice change to see an educational aid that doesn't contain a microchip, or am I just being an old fart? ( Yes .you are now get on with it! —Ed.)
The reserve provides educational classes for 2,000 children a year and the nets will equip two school classes at a time. Michael van Hemert, commercial director, Frigoscandia pictured here, back left) says: It is very rewarding for us to be able to help a valued local organisation such as the RSPB. The educational benefits of visiting this centre cannot be disputed, particularly when we have seen the enthusiasm and dedication expressed by all the staff and visitors to the reserve.'' Seen here with Michael are Glens Collins from the RSPB and Melanie Rousell, Tom Weeks and Sam Geller, all pupils from Danegrove Primary School, East Barnet.
