HUNDREDS of local school children are looking forward to experiencing a wilder side to
life this summer when they spend time exploring a unique haven in the midst of Shell’s
Stanlow Manufacturing Complex.
Since the Stanlow pond was first opened in 2001 over 2,000 school children from the
surrounding area have joined Shell staff for a series of fun days out rummaging in the
site’s nature pond and also learning a little about the company’s operations.
Situated in a remote corner of the site, the pond continues to thrive each year with an
ever-increasing list of species from resident coots and Canada geese to frogs, water
scorpion and the great diving beetle. Shell’s hidden wilderness, which boasts two
dipping platforms, a bird hide and picnic area, provides the perfect environment for the
children to come and discover many forms of wildlife.
Nature walks, hosted by local ecologist Dave Platt, are an added attraction. Children
are taught how to identify all kinds of flora and fauna and name birds by listening to their
calls. They also learn about the lives of the various mini-beasts they had previously
caught in the pond.
Shell public affairs assistant Rachel Evans said: “This is a unique resource that
COMMUNITY
educates children about the environment and at the same time enables them to
understand the importance of the oil and chemical products we manufacture on site.”
l Shell contract and procurement manager for UK manufacturing Rasmus Valanko, left,
and Shell technical clerk Janet Taylor search for insects and mini-beasts at the Shell
pond with Year 5 school children from Cambridge Road Primary School.

Stanlow provides jobs for around 800 Shell people and a large number of contractors
on site on a regular basis. Their salaries provide a boost for the local economies of
the north west and help create further employment.
