Amanda Millar, the local wildlife conservationist is giving an illustrated talk on Monday, April 9th entitled ‘Gardening for Pollinators’. The talk begins at 7.30pm and is to be held in The Club Room, Village Centre, Trinity Road, Hurstpierpoint, BN6 9UY.

 

A busy bee working tirelessly for our benefit.

Amanda dedicates much of her life to helping species of wildlife, especially bats and bees. Imagine living in a desert with barely any food, water or shelter. That is what much of the British countryside is now like for many wild pollinators and their numbers are dropping alarmingly.

 

Encouraging their presence adds both colour and value to our lives. 

In this talk she explains how we can all help assist their survival by simply managing our gardens. The service pollinators provide for mankind is immeasurable. Come and learn how you can support them in this way for the benefit of us all. Entry is free and all are welcome. There is a car park opposite the building.

 

This event follows The Woodland, Flora & Fauna Group’s 2018 AGM which will be held in the same venue at 7.00pm for any supporters who are interested in attending. The activities undertaken in the last year will be reviewed together with other business required under the Group’s Constitution. We appreciate that AGMs aren’t to everyone’s taste so are making each event a totally separate function. We are providing refreshments between to allow plenty of time for the arrival of those who just wish to attend the illustrated talk.

It is our aim to encourage people of all ages with a countryside interest to join our Supporters by signing our Register of Interest. We charge no membership fee as we wish everyone to belong regardless of means. Instead, as our conservation expenses are continuous , we do ask those who can afford it to contribute a little to help in the collection dish as they leave the function. This helps us tremendously.
