THE Cheshire Wildlife Trust is calling on members of the public to support its new appeal to raise £20,000 to help the barn owl - one of our most threatened species - to thrive.

The trust believes that by providing connected landscapes and wildlife corridors the barn owl can be given a fighting chance.
