Want to improve the local area?Would like to find out more about nature?
Want to do some light physical activity?
Come in and join us for our monthly Friday task day on the last Friday of the month.
You don't need any previous experience. We'll take you through what we are doing, and why we are doing it, and how to do it safely.
This month, our conservation tasks are going to be:
- Hedge work -
Give our hedge a haircut. This helps it grow thicker, and become a better and safer habitat for mammals and birds.
- Copse work -
Our copse is lovely. It is a part of young woodland in the middle of a wildflower area. There's a lot of this woodland along the Shoreburs greenway. It is a hiding place for deer during the day, and feeds many animals. But if we did not control it, there wouldn't be any wild flowers surrounding it.
Succession causes brambles to grow, followed by trees. We need to make sure that species that rely on grasslands are not pushed out. If you want to know more, ask us about our management plan.
- Litter picking -
The less litter there is the less likely people are to drop it!
The reserve is run by our wonderful team of volunteers. We would not be able to manage without your help. Every act makes the site better. We appreciate all of you.
Our Study Centre has toilets that will be open for use.
Our tasks are always open to non-members, but if you would like to help support Sholing Valleys financially and become a member, it's very easy to join. Just follow the link below:
