The Dream Team!

Monday, August 8th 2022

Days like Saturday would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of the Foxglove volunteers.

So much work went on behind the scenes including preparing the site ahead of the big day; trail edges were strimmed, net rides were pruned, paths were swept, lawns were mown. Everywhere received a bit of TLC to show the reserve off at its best. 

Work took place off site too; raffle tickets were designed, printed and sold and bunting was made! Local businesses were extremely generous with some fantastic prizes. On the day, the raffle was organised and more tickets were sold. If you have won a prize you will be contacted soon and some are in the post!

Volunteers baked cakes and biscuits and a refreshment stall 'popped up' on the front verandah!

Handmade crafts were donated and sold to raise vital funds.

Species were recorded and photographed.

All of the bird ringing data was carefully scribed too.

Our sincere thanks to everyone who helped out from running children's activities and parking cars to scribing, bird ringing and washing up at the end, your time and effort are very much appreciated, what a dream team!
