CRANES FOR CRANES IN SLIMBRIDGE

Sharpness-based tower crane company, Bennetts Cranes, is supporting a conservation campaign to bolster the breeding population of the UK’s largest bird, by sponsoring a habitat restoration project at Slimbridge Wetland Centre near Berkeley.

Bennetts Cranes launched “Cranes for cranes” to represent support for the conservation campaign, which is aimed at helping the recently reintroduced population of common – or Eurasian – cranes, a bird that until around a decade ago had been extinct in the UK for 400 years.

Edward Seager, Managing Director of Bennetts Cranes, said: “We’d been looking for a project we could get involved in that would be beneficial for our environment, and cranes seemed the perfect fit. It’s even better that we can see the work and get involved in this project at Slimbridge because it is only a few miles from our headquarters.”
