Hello everyone in 2009.
Friends of Greenfield have been fairly busy in the last couple of months.
Two litter picks have been done and we collected far too much rubbish. I say that because it shouldn't have been there in the first place! We got some good publicity in Colne Times, so let's hope the message gets to people in the local community.
Albert did a splendid dog poo poster and doggedly(oops no pun intended) puts up posters as they get torn down by vandals.
The Tree Walk and Tree Dressing Ceremony went very well in spite of a rainy morning. 14 including 5 children attended. Thanks to Alison Plackett for her very informative leading of the walk.
Plans for the coming months. We've ordered some genuine English Bluebells and when they come will need planting.
Regular litterpicks will be on the last Saturday of each month commencing at 10.30am.
Saturday February 21st sees us at Holy Trinity Community Centre, Tatton Street, Colne with a Bird and Bat box making morning. Also Refreshements will be served. Adults will pay £1.00 to come in and for that will get a cup of tea/coffee with a piece of cake plus a lucky draw number on their ticket.Children in free and a squash & biscuit free. So why not come along and try your hand at Nest box making.Members please contribute, cakes, buns or traybakes even if you can't be there. Let me know on 01282 859745 and I will arrange collection.
We also hope to plant a bird friendly/ flytipper unfriendly hedge along the edge of the car park by the fence .There are improvements afoot with Rob Janusewski of PEAG and we will know more later.
Come Spring we shall have to pull some of the young Indian Balsam plants, even though we may be unpopular with the Beekeepers ( of which I am one). Bees love it and it extends their foraging season.That's it for now folks. Keep supporting Greenfield LNR.
