This is to let you know what is going
on with the Westbrook Undercliffe Town Green. The site, adjacent to Barnes Car
Park, is part of the project “Making a Buzz
on the Coast”.
Volunteers are needed who would be
interested in helping with the project. This could be help with planting shrubs
or wild flowers, doing Bee surveys, Leading Bee walks or other tasks.
If you are interested there is a talk on 24th
January that you may like to attend details as follows:-
The Bumblebee Conservation Trust is teaming up with Thanet Coast
Project, Thanet District Council, Kent Wildlife Trust and others to enhance
bumblebee populations in and around Thanet. This is part of a wider HLF funded
project in Kent called Making a Buzz for the Coast. To introduce local people
to the work in Thanet, and to hear about opportunities to get involved, there
will be a talk at 7pm on 24th January in Droit House at the Margate Visitor
Information Centre. The talk will also include information about the bumblebee
species found in this part of Kent. Spaces are limited, so please visit the
following link to register: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/making-a-buzz-for-the-coast-conserving-rare-bumblebees-in-thanet-tickets-41499920379?ref=estw or contact Lawrie Sampson on 07718453218
Our next Work Day is on Saturday 24th
February starting at 10 am.
This involves planting a hundred trees
to replace those accidently cut by council contractors.
If you would like to be involved or
know of anyone else who might be interested in the project, please pass on
this message to anyone you think would like to help. If you can bring a
spade that would be good although some tools will be available on the day. If
you are not physically able to help with planting still come and give us
support (cake is always welcome).
If you can help in any way please
contact.
