Dark Skies Lighting for Yealand School.
It was great to get such positive feedback from the school about the new security lighting provided by the Bittern Sustainable Schools Project. The lighting is proving a great success. You can read all about it on the Friends of the Lake District web site. Jack Ellerby of the Dark Skies Project helped us with the design of the lighting.
