Providence Plantation clearing and barbeque

Friday 1st June, 2018 Written by Webmaster

The summer holidays are just around the corner so it’s time for our final conservation trip of the year to Providence Plantation! On Sunday 3rd June we will be clearing the butterfly glade to slow doen the flurry of bramble growth over the summer. Then, in the late afternoon, we will have a barbeque. We will supply the barbecue and food like breadbuns and condiments (ketchup etc.), you just need to bring anything you’d like to be barbecued, plus drinks, snacks ect.

This should be a really nice trip to end the year, so even if you haven’t had chance to come to any other trips during term everyone is welcome to come along and try out some conservation work. It would be lovely to see lots of you there before saying bye for the summer!
It may have been a rainy week but the weather is looking lovely on Sunday so where better to spend the day than in the great outdoors! So that we have an idea of numbers, please could you either email our social secretary Cassia or say you are going on the facebook event.
