On Sunday 5^th March we’ll be doing a joint trip with Bath University Volunteering Society to an Avon Wildlife Trust reserve at Browne’s Folly.

It is a lovely mixed woodland site with a limestone grassland in the middle. We will be doing some scrub clearance then burning all the material on a bonfire (perfect for toasting plenty of marshmallows and donuts).

If you would like to come please email Ollie by 7:30pm on Wednesday 1^st March. As usual, if the trip is oversubscribed we will pick names out of a hat. If you do not get a place you will be guaranteed one on the next trip you sign up to.
