On Sunday May 1st 2022 at 2.30pm, our volunteer nature conservation group is organising a public countryside walk in the secluded, beautiful, bluebell carpeted, wooded area of Sayers Common adjacent to a large wildlife pond. The owners of the land have kindly offered to allow people to appreciate the natural beauty of an area that we have invested a lot of time and effort into making it a haven for wildlife and nature. They want to help us promote our group and will be providing refreshments afterwards to encourage donations to help with our continuous expenditure to improve our local countryside. We are very grateful to them for this opportunity and support.
The previous walk held was enjoyed by all who attended.
Due to site constraints this invitation is unfortunately limited to our Registered Supporters and their families only. (You are a supporter if you receive our monthly email bulletins). If you would like to join us please email: dralianmarine@aol.com beforehand to ensure that site numbers are not exceeded. The event will allow you to join us to appreciate the bluebell flanked pond and surrounding woodland which is the focus of many nature supporting initiatives undertaken by The Woodland, Flora & Fauna group. In addition to the considerable work that has been undertaken to create the woodland pond, wildlife projects to support barn owls, bats and dormice have also been pursued. These can be witnessed as the walk proceeds with commentary provided as required to allow a full understanding of each.
Most of our work is on privately owned land for the benefit of our natural world so the opportunity for the public to witness it is often limited. The landowners in many areas are kindly lending us their support to allow improvement to the natural environment which is so important to us all as well as the wildlife species that rely on it for their continued existence, so please take advantage of this opportunity.
Flower blooms fill the air with their sweet aroma at this time of year.
We have dedicated all our spare time since 2004 on this quest so any support you can give us by attending would be greatly appreciated. Please advise your families and bring them along with you.
The access into this area will be along a grassy track to the west of Kings Business Centre in Reeds Lane Sayers Common. It will be signposted with a large black & yellow group sign at the entrance. Car parking will be in the open area beyond the metal gates. Group members will direct attendees from there. For those using sat. navs. the entrance is approximately 50 metres beyond the Post Code BN6 93G (heading west) along Reeds Lane on the right hand side.
In the tea garden area, there will be an opportunity for anyone who wishes to contribute towards the costs of our conservation work in a retiring collection tray. We don’t charge any membership or other fees and rely on donations from anyone who feels inclined to support us in our effort to enhance local countryside and wildlife survival prospects.
We look forward to meeting anyone who is able to make it and hope you find the experience rewarding. We would also like to thank you for the group support you continue to give us, whether by attending our events, donating to our work or volunteering for our nature conservation tasks. These are all invaluable to us.
