Following the wonderful donation from Western Power Distribution to allow us to buy much needed tools, local company MacSalvors Ltd of Agar Road, Pool were pleased to supply all the equipment we needed at very keen prices which allowed us to buy extra items with the money, effectively an additional sponsorship for which we are very grateful! Red River Rescuers are now fully kitted out with brand new bowsaws and spare blades, loppers, hedge trimmers and 30 pairs of very thick leather gloves, all perfect for dealing with the brambles, gorse and willow that are rapidly obliterating large areas of the Red River Valley Local Nature Reserve. We were also able to purchase two very nice tool boxes to keep all this lovely new kit in! It is heartwarming that Western Power Distribution and MacSalvors Ltd were both very keen to support a local community project, with both companies only a stones throw from the Red River Valley sites and both recognising that this vital wild area would be lost without their contributions and our volunteers efforts. In the photo MacSalvors Shop Manager Paul hands Red River Rescuers Treasurer Gary Barlow the last of the new bowsaws that were put straight to work the next morning at the Bell Lake Marsh work party (See photos from the day in our gallery).
