As you know our planning permission has the condition that our site needs to be cleared before the end of February so for our workday this Sunday (the 12th from 1-3pm) we should really tackle that! I hope that a lot of you can make it to finish off this huge job so the site is ready for our enormous Groundwork grant to be spent, hooray!!

On our January workday we started building our dead hedge to create a habitat for all kinds of wildlife on site. Thank you to all our volunteers, great work!

We had so much fun at our willow weaving session last Sunday- and look at these great obelisks! I think we should do another one next fall and make an explorer path with them snaking through our site. Thank you Jenny for all the work you put in getting the materials and jigs and leading the session!

Volunteers have cleared the scrub from the driveway area and built the foundation for a bug fence - huge amount achieved in a day......

Now we need you all to come in and help finish clearing the soil back to the paving, dig out the odd buddleia root and help complete the bug fence. We need lots of different materials from the site to create cozy nesting spots for our local bugs and minibeasts over the winter.

Planning permission has been submitted. Yes - slowly we are getting somewhere!

Come and help clear the 'driveway' - the smaller area that links to Glengall Road - we are having a new gate installed and rubbish removed. This will be a space to store stuff and start building the bug fencing and seating we have planned. Eventually this area will house our polytunnel and store materials.
