We gave away some oak trees to good homes and also some house plants.
We gave way sustainable bird feeders and magic wands🪄 made from willow donated by Holt Island Nature Reserve 🐦 and talked to people how to help the wildlife in their Gardens.
Thanks to St Ives Town council and FESt.
🦔See us again at Picnic in the park! Sunday 21st June, Warmers park.🎪🍰🧺

Congratulations to all our newly elected HDC councilors!
Now we have elected you please take a look at this... Rotherham council planted wildflowers along verges. I noticed the verges that were not cut last year around Waveny Rd (to aid bio diversity) have been cut this year. Does this mean the experiment is over? I had heard that just leaving the glass long increased biodiversity by 30%.🌱🦊🦔🪲🐞

I hope after Thursday the newly elected town council can get the free 'Parish on line' and connect with other councils making mitigation changes for the future (maybe get help with enclosing the Slepe Field?)
