We are very pleased to announce that we can go ahead with our  plans to create a Painted Stones Garden in the Park. It will be sited near the rectangular formal garden and will be prepared in the next few weeks. Our first aim will be to make a home for the trail of stones by the Johnson Road art installation that so many people have contributed to.

This little chap introduces the next step in our ecology survey.

Moths, birds and bats – join us for our second session with Ed Drewitt, developing our ecological survey of the park. On the evening of 24^th August, starting at 7.30pm we will set up a moth trap, go out in search of birds, then as dusk falls, we will tune into our local bats.On the morning of the 25^th at 8.30am we will survey the moth trap. Meet at 50 Guest Avenue, Spaces are limited –  please contact Chris  if you would like to come via the Contact form or otherwise.

Also to say that our next working party on the orchard will be on Sept 5th, 10am as usual for two hours. Please bring your own tools. A rake and a barrow may be particularly useful this time in addition to other tools. We will split into two groups and work different parts of the site if we have more than the current limit of six people.

To close here are some pics of nighttime visitors to one garden in Emersons Green that I thought you might like to see.
