Award winner: RSPB Geltsdale

LABOUR MP Julie Minns has praised RSPB Geltsdale  which sits within her Carlisle constituency

During a Commons debate, she told colleagues: "I recommend  Members a visit to my beautiful constituency of Carlisle and north Cumbria - in particular to RSPB Geltsdale where they will see the award-winning Howgill Beck restoration project, which has won the UK river prize. 

"It is a fantastic restoration project that has restored the wetlands, and native species have returned to the environment. It is a stunning part of north Cumbria.

"The  RSPB and all its partners should be congratulated on this wonderful project."
