Bore da pawb
Just a very quick reflection on the work that has happened during the summer season. It may turn into a bit of a list though.
Lets look at the volunteers first, so since May until the end of September there have been 1472 hours volunteered across the sites managed by the Outdoor Recreation Service. WOW, and amazing number and from a wide range of individuals and organisations including the banking and retail sector, local schools, local litter groups and of course our own ViP's conservation team.
At our Ynysdawela Nature Reserve we have delivered either ourselves or through amazing third party companies Junior Ranger club, forest school, campfire, dance and writing sessions, river life surveys, beetle and bat surveys with around 120 school pupil engagements alone.
Our ViP conservation team, have hacked, knocked, dug, counted, painted and made countless other important contributions to the management of our nature reserves.
Personally I managed to dent my new truck ! all fixed now.
We lost and found a river ..... long story but its fixed!
Grass Snakes have done really well at Pembrey Country Park, even taking advantage of the shower facilities!
Swallows and Sand Martins have been caught under licence and ringed what more will be learn of theses long distance travellers?
It's been a tough season for many invertebrates especially the insects, there seemed to be a last minute resurgence towards mid September, will it be enough?
So much going on and so many people to thank.
No Blog for a week or so I'm having a rest.
