Friday's meeting at Leigh Library. Doors open at 6:50 pm. A presentation by Keith Williams, The Birds of Lesvos. Drinks and buscuits are being made available.

 If you’d have gone down to the Pennington Flash today, you would have seen this motley crew working hard in their attempt to get the job of dead hedging done before the sun went down. It was all hands-on deck to complete the task before the moon made an appearance. Great turn out for the day as more like-minded people are joining our group.

Should you wish to become involved, we are always looking to recruit new volunteers. Working locally with a view to protect nature, we act in the name of conservation and a love of the outdoors. Meetings are each Wednesday on Pennington Flash Car park for 9:30 a.m. A brew, biscuit and sometimes even a piece of cake awaits you. Car parking for the day of Volunteering is free.

 

This morning Pernnington Flash Volunteer Group were greeted with cries of "g'day" as we welcomed our most recent volunteer Shel.

 

Shel is seen here with a special hero, Darcie, who came along to give her time during the school holidays. With her glittering wellies, Darcie was an enormous help, clearing litter with Joan and even assisting with the task of the day, dead hedging.
