Going Wild with Wild Film Soc

Monday 18th October, 2021 Written by Webmaster

On the Saturday 23rd of October, BUCG and Wild Film Soc will be having a joint trip to Providence Plantation. We will be playing some outdoor games to get to know one another as well as some conservation work. People can also roam the woodland to take photos and videos. We can also show the Wild Film members the photos we have been collecting on our new camera trap.

Please book a free ticket using this link – we are doing this so we can moderate the number of people who attend. Make sure you select the correct ticket for the society you are a member of.

As we’ll be working outside please wear suitable footwear (it gets muddy) and waterproofs, and bring food for lunch!

Providence Plantation trips

Thursday 29th April, 2021 Written by Webmaster

On the Sunday 2nd of May we will have two trips to Providence Plantation, a morning and afternoon group. We will be improving the butterfly glade. Last week we made good progress on clearing brambles – this week we will be planting wildflowers.

Instead of having a first-come, first-serve ticket process, this week we will be choosing people randomly. Email Jen tickets if you wish to attend, including if you have a preference for the morning or afternoon group. You will also need tickets for the bus, these can be purchased through the First Bus app or on the bus itself. Also make sure you have appropriate clothing and footwear.

Berrow Dunes

Monday 3rd February, 2020 Written by Webmaster

Update: Sadly, due to adverse weather this trip has been CANCELLED.

On Sunday 16th Febuary we will be heading to Berrow Dunes to work on the reserve by the beach. We have not been for quite a few years so this is a good opportunity to discover somewhere new.

We will set off from Bristol in the morning and will be out for the whole day helping the council by building sand fencing and cutting some sea buckthorn from within the fixed dunes to weave into the fencing.

If you have a car and are willing to drive on the trip, let us know and you can be reimbursed for petrol. Sign ups for this trip are now open but spaces are limited so please let us know by email if you would like to come along.
