It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that Lynda Broad died in Whiston Hospital on 21st February from sepsis. Gary was with her until the end and he is, of course, devastated by his loss. 

Lynda was the Chair of the Friends of Pickerings Pasture and devoted much of her time to it. She was also the organiser of the pop-up Cafe at the Centre, cooked all the lovely meals and consequently helped raise hundreds of pounds towards our funds. She will be missed by all the Friends, Past and Present. 

All our thoughts are with Gary at this sad time.

Respect all the Government Guidelines and each other's space. Keep Pickerings Pasture safe.
As well as the usual dog walkers many people are using Pickerings Pasture as an area of relief from the stresses of Covid 19. A good walk in the fresh air can do wonders for our mental wellbeing. Please try to keep at least one metre apart when passing others on the footways. Don't get too close to others when greeting them: we all have many friends that we meet regularly down at the Pastures: we want to keep them all safe.
​If you develop any symptoms please keep away from Pickerings Pasture for everyones sake. We wish you all well.

The Friends of Pickerings Pasture and Hale Duck Decoy carry out a range of volunteer activities at both venues. These tasks vary from painting the fences or picking up litter to full-scale conservation work: depending upon the season, ability and necessity. We are not meeting formally at present, due to Covid-19 restrictions. However small groups meet up regularly to do anything that is needed.
We work alongside Halton Borough Council but remain an independent group.
There is a Donation Post in the car park and all gifts are very welcome and used solely for the benefit of the sites.  Thank you to those who contribute.
