Macclesfield Wildlife Explorers impressed RSPB judges with its wide range of activities and events over the past year, which included creating a wildlife area at a farm in Marton; fundraising for the northern rockhopper penguin appeal, and helping to prepare for the arrival of the Springwatch team at RSPB Ynys Hir in Wales.
The group won a telescope, a selection of reference books, CDs and goody bags.
Tina Hanak, leader of the group said: “We are surprised but delighted to have won the award and are planning to celebrate with a big party. Our young members love getting involved with nature conservation and are committed to helping our threatened wildlife. It is a privilege to work with them.”
