[FoNC] Working party and call for help.

Dear Ellen,

I am sorry I will  be away next Monday. Great news about grants and
donations. I suggest that at least some of the money be spent  on creating
something accessible and eye catching, such as a  patch of
butterfly-attracting plants, or endangered wild plants, with a notice
explaining the  purpose, and  thanking the donors.  

Best wishes,

Janet

Hello everyone! 

 

We would normally have a working party on Monday, but for various reasons,
we have decided to postpone until Monday 22 November. 

 

If you can join us from 10-11.45 next week, we will be planting more bulbs
(with the aid of a planter generously donated by the Inch) and repairing
some path borders. 

 

I am sorry for the late notice - I have been at COP in Glasgow this week,
which was very busy (and frustrating). On a positive note, I got a chance to
talk to Chris Packham and some young people about biodiversity and the
importance of volunteering in greenspaces for protecting your mental health.


 

Finally, we have been discussing what we want to do with various bits of
money that we have been given. We have some bat boxes that we need to locate
in suitable positions - if anyone has expertise in this please get in touch.
Also, many people have suggested that we put some effort into re-erecting
headstones. This is not a straightforward proposition, but also not
impossible. If anyone wants to volunteer to do some research into our
options, please email me!

 

With all good wishes for a greener future,

Ellen-Raissa
