Site Sale
At the Site Management Meeting on Thursday 23rd January, Hanson informed us that the site has been sold to a developer, who will have 20 days from the date of receiving the information they've requested to complete the deal. We hope to meet with the new owners as soon as the deal is completed.
2018 Annual Report
Our 2018 Annual Report is now on sale.
£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 message 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.
Co-op Local Community Fund
We're delighted to be taking part in the Co-op Local Community Fund.
If you're a Co-op member, please choose us as and 1% of your spending will be donated to us, no matter where you live.
If you're not a Co-op member, please consider signing up.

Volunteer Work Parties
Our volunteer work party schedule for the next 3 months.
Whilst the site sale hangs over us, it's still business as usual as we have a community nature reserve to manage. Our summer migrant breeding birds will be returning soon, so we have
plenty of work to do getting the nest boxes, tern rafts, sand martin
bank & swift tower ready for them.
BioBlitz
We're holding our annual BioBlitz on Saturday 13th June - please see the below poster for details. More events will be added as we get closer to the event, so please keep checking our website.
