We are planning a trip with the Avon Wildlife Trust on Sunday 15th March, driving to one of the local nature reserves near Bristol. Spaces are limited, so please email our president Laura if you are interested and we will email you if you’re on the trip.
Are you board of pub socials and looking for an event with a bit more pizzazz? Then come along to our board games and pizza night, decorating vegan and vegetarian pizzas at the Multifaith Chaplaincy on Thursday 12th March at 6 pm.
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.

We will be going on our annual residential trip to Anglesey from Sunday 15th September to Thursday 19th September.

There may be limited numbers for this trip so again let us know if you are interested and names may have to be chosen at random if this part of the trip is oversubscribed.
