Sent this brief report off for publication in our Somerset Wildlife Trust magazine. You can read it first here. World scoop!! There is a 200 word limit on what we can say which is why it is so short!
The Heart of the Levels Group has just celebrated the fifth anniversary of starting our Group.
Five years into a new venture is a good point at which to look back on what we have achieved as a small group of volunteers.
Here are some of my personal highlights.
A talk by Chris Sperring accompanied by live owls was special.
Our one day workshops on Art and Wildlife and recently on Wild Flower
Photography were a great learning experience.
The setting up of our Botany Study Group with the professional help of Dr Anne Bebbington and John Bebbington.
Learning about nature has been inherent in all our activities. Starting a local Wildlife Watch Club was another big step forward.
Funds raised through our activities enable us to make a contribution to SWT Appeals and to support our Watch Club.
We submitted comments to DEFRA on Badgers and the Natural Environment.
We are currently writing a short guide to our local reserves.
Helping SWT set up a new reserves working group for the East Polden Hills is in progress.
Writing a natural history Blog on our activities and environmental issues.
Starting our local group was the best way to learn about wildlife.
