WHY NOT TRY VOLUNTEERING FOR YOURSELF YOU WILL FIND

IT VERY ENJOYABLE AND REWARDING I'M SURE

 

Please contact our secretary Lucy Edwards on 01761 411292

Our group of volunteers are among the most highly talented in what they do, what they have achieve in the reserve so far, it has to be seen to believed. So if you have the time and want or need to gain a little more experience for yourself why not try working with our friendly group. If you live near the reserve please feel free to come along and join us 10:30 a.m. every Saturday morning or alternatively leave your name and contact details on the contact form on our home page. Nobody in the friends group will pester you about joining and there is no added pressure if you don't want to do anything that is fine. We really do need to see more names added to our Membership List so the group will have a bit more influence as we move forward in the future.

CAN YOU SPARE JUST TWO HOURS A WEEK?

We promise you that this question is true! This is all we ask of you, (if you are able of course) spend just two hours helping us on a Saturday morning, this is the average time a volunteer spends on one of our workdays and you don't have to come evey week. Some of us may stay a little longer depending how the job is progressing, whatever you may choose to do is entirely up to you and will be appreciated. Let me reassure you once more only two hours this is all we ask of our volunteers, why not give us a try.

 

It might be the physical side of the work that is putting you off joining us, perhaps like me you are not able to do so much these days. Why not become a silent member of the reserve this would still be helping the group immensely because we need to bolster our membership. Only then can we become a much stronger voice for wildlife in Midsomer Norton and the surrounding areas in this part of Somerset we really do need to look after our green spaces and woodlands, so please do join. All our small woodlands, forests and green spaces are under constant threat Nationally. With this Government's drive to build more houses and changing the rules and laws to accommodate this policy, the threat will remain. There are many groups like ours springing up all over the Country in an attempt to save our wildlife and their green spaces. We shall always be there for our Local Nature Reserve, so why not join us now before it is too late and the developers move in. Sign up today so that future generations, our grand children and their children can enjoy a that brighter future.

 

01/03/2014 - Eleven people turned up for this workday with the objective to build a fieldfence, to stop people taking short cuts and walking through the Wild Garlic. those of the work party who are not in these pictures are coppicing in another part of the wood for the materials for the infilling the field fence. The 30 metres of fencing took two hours to complete a good mornings work and the fence has been a success.

WE CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE, FOR OUR GREEN SPACESFORESTS & WOODLANDS
