BANK
HOLIDAY –
PARADISE
OR PURGATORY?
On

with one of our work parties.
On Sunday 24 August at 10.00 am:
Join
volunteer warden Jon Holmes for a practical woodland management session at Crackley Wood Local Nature Reserve,
Kenilworth
. Please meet at the entrance to the wood off
Crackley Lane
at grid reference SP289738.
Join volunteer warden Dave Solliss at
Hampton
Wood, Barford to work in this beautiful ancient woodland and its
associated water meadows alongside the River Avon. Meet
at the entrance [grid reference SP254600] on the Sherbourne to Hampton
Lucy road.
These
events are free and full training will be given.
For each event, all you need to bring is appropriate weatherproof clothing
and strong footwear.
Eddie
Asbery, Reserves Volunteering Officer at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust says,
“If
your experience of getting-away-from-it-all on a Bank Holiday weekend is
to find yourself being asphyxiated by diesel fumes in a mammoth traffic
jam on the M5, then it’s definitely purgatory. This time, give yourself
a glimpse of paradise by joining in with one of work parties. Watching a
swan marshalling her cygnets on a glittering pond, hearing groups of young
swifts screaming as they practice handbrake turns; experiencing the
pageant which is an English summer at its best is as close to paradise as
you can get. And there’s room for everyone, so see you there.”
