As you may know, Tice's Meadow Nature Reserve is being sold by landowners Hanson.
The fight to save Tice's Meadow is on the front page of this week's Farnham Herald:
Our MP Jeremy Hunt hosted a meeting with Hanson, Farnham Town Council & Waverley Borough Council. It appears they have been given 3 weeks to put a bid together.
£15 for a full colour, glossy, 140 page A4 report. All profits will be spent on our work at Tice's Meadow Nature Reserve.
The report is much more than a list of the birds seen, it includes all
of the site's wildlife, and is a record of all the work we did on site
in 2018.
You can collect in person from Richard Horton, or we can post it to you
(+ £2 p&p). Please DM or email us to place an order.
Once we've sold all 60 copies, we will release a free lower-res pdf for all to read.
