Scout Moor Wind Farm Official Opening (1)

Dignitaries from across the North West were invited to the official opening of the Scout Moor wind farm on the 25th of September 2008.
Children above from Edenfield Primary School, who have enjoyed lessons based around the wind farm, were on hand to cut the ribbon at Turbine No 22.
Head Teacher at Edenfield Primary School, Janet Reidy, said: "It is superb for the children to be involved today after all the work they have done about the wind farm in their lessons. I think they will all remember this in future years and now they know what it's like to be film stars with all the camera crews here!"
