Our House Rules
We love to hear from Suffolk Wildlife Trust members and supporters, to see your photos and hear your ideas and suggestions. All we ask is that users are respectful of others and keep their posts polite, civil and suitable for all ages. We do not tolerate any content that is offensive or abusive including material that is obscene, violent, aggressive, argumentative, harassing, defam

atory, unlawful, insulting, indecent or otherwise objectionable. This includes any language that can be construed as offensive, sexist, racist or homophobic. Please note that we retain the right to hide or remove any comments that we consider inappropriate. This extends to spamming and any material judged to be off-topic in subject-specific areas. We retain the right to block individuals who ignore this policy and post inappropriate content on our page. Moderation
In general, we don’t moderate posts on our page or groups – except when offensive language is used or libellous allegations are made. We have a duty to protect our staff and volunteers, so while deleting comments is a last resort and very unusual, our position is that any post containing libellous accusations should be removed. If an individual posts content contrary to our House Rules (see above) then we reserve the right to block that person from the page.

Giant stag beetle spotted in Arger Fen!
Over the winter a group of women met once a month to create a Stag beetle sculpture, under the guidance of willow weaver Jo Hammond.
The sculpture highlights one of the flagship species prioritised by Suffolk Wildlife Trust for conservation action, and they can be found in Arger Fen!
With many thanks to Jo, the weaving women, and to Dedham Vale National Landscape who funded this project.

What a gorgeous morning for Women of the woods at Arger Fen! ☀️❄️
We made wreaths with willow and bay from Jo's garden, and conifer cut as part of the management of the nature reserve, we slowed down and noticed the tiny things in the woods ( there are some minute and very beautiful fungi about at the moment) followed by a relaxation, and celebrating the year's successes.
If you would like to join us, there are sessions in January and February https://www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org/upcoming-events-arger-fen

We took shelter in Assington Village Hall for our first Weaving in the Landscape session, funded by Dedham Vale National Landscape Sustainable development fund. Tutor Jo Hammond showed participants different types of willow and how they could be used in our sculpture. She explained how the sculpture would be formed, and then came some practice weaving, in the form of a star. Looking forward to the next session at Arger Fen. If you would like to join us, there are a few places still available.
