WILD SEED PLANTING SESSION AT THE QUESLETT NATURE RESERVE


I am now pleased to be able to announce, that there will be a Wild seed planting session on the Queslett Nature Reserve on Saturday (24th May). Friends of the Queslett Nature Reserve and other volunteers are welcome to come along and help out. We will be meeting at 11am at the Ashworth Road entrance. (see picture above)
Tools will be provided but if you can bring a rake so much the better. Please come prepared for the weather and to get your hands dirty?
Council officers will be there to give advice on the planting of Hedge row and Meadow seed producing plants. It is hoped that many of these new plants will not only be colourful to look at, but will also help Bees, Butterfly's and Birds etc, increase their numbers in the future on the reserve. It may also go someway towards mitigating the negative effects to the wildlife the forth coming new housing development on Booths Lane may have. There will also be another opportunity to help clear litter from the site.
For further details please give me a ring on 360 6486.
