🦔home risk assessment before bonfires 💕

With Bonfire night on the horizon, please remember to check your bonfire before lighting in case hedgehogs have chosen the bonfire as a place to hibernate. Find out more here: https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/actions/how-check-your-bonfire-hedgehogs

Just for knowledge 🙂

As Halloween approaches, millions of pumpkins will be carved into spooky lanterns across the UK, adding festive flair to doorsteps and windows.

Happening this Sunday at the visitor centre Mabel's Meals take over 💕

So this week we had volunteers coppicing and cutting reeds in the lagoon, which were burnt given the volume accumulated. As always a big thank you to our midweek and weekend volunteers; another great job 🙏

Today volunteers were busy raking. Raking up prevents the grass being over nourished and growing back too strongly, to the detriment of other wild flowers and grasses.

This Saturday 🙂
Come volunteer - chance to do maybe something totally different from the working week, plus meet new people and have a brew and cake at the visitor centre after ☕️🧁
