AN EAST Yorkshire travel company has donated vital equipment to an international preservation site.

Santiago Bejarano who organises trips from Think Galapagos in Trinity Lane, Beverley, will fly to the Pacific archipelago to deliver two-highly sensitive weighing scales to the Galapagos National Park later this month.

The scales will be used to monitor the growth of giant tortoises in the area, and Mr Bejarano will give a talk on his visit at The Robert Fuller Gallery, in Thixendale, on December 2.
