Alfrick weekend
On Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th November we’ll be going on a weekend trip to Alfrick in Worcestershire to work on the Ravenshill Woodland Reserve.
The reserve is run and lived on by Trevor and Annette, who have plenty of wildlife wisdom to share – also Annette is a fantastic cook who kindly makes us lunch each day. We’ll be staying at the Village Hall overnight and got to a local pub for dinner on Saturday evening.
The cost of the trip will be £15, which is subsidised by the society and includes travel, accommodation, breakfast, lunch and snacks (though this will not include the the pub food, so remember to take money for that as well).
This trip is always one of the highlights of the year. If you’d like to come please email Ollie by 11pm on Sunday 6th November.

We’ll be getting the 10:35am X9 from Bristol Bus Station, and will aim to be back in Bristol around 5pm (although of course you can get the bus back at any time during the day).

Providence Plantation is a piece of woodland owned by Bristol University and is an ongoing project for BUCG. We aim to improving the biodiversity and pathways of the wood. It’s great fun out in the fresh air and, as always, no prior experience is needed. If your interested in getting involved please email Emily by 5pm on Monday 30th November (you must be a member to participate).
