    Default Galloway Red Kite trail

    From BBC News:

    A new report has claimed visitors to a wildlife project in south west Scotland have put at least £21m into the local economy in the past six years.

    The Galloway Kite Trail was created by a partnership led by RSPB Scotland.

    It has also been estimated that the project has supported about 13 full-time jobs each year since it started.

    Yes saw that news item yesterday, I would imagine that places like Gigrin farm down in Wales has similar results.

    It's a great result - it gives another tack to use when trying to convince people of the worthiness of wildlife protection.
