Saturday October 13th 'Living Landscapes - Making Space for Nature in the Urban Environment' with Transition Town, Kingston
The Environment Trust was represented at an event to encourage the planting of wild flowers and other pollinator-friendly gardening practices for the benefit of bees and butterflies, with one of our volunteers helping to promote the work of the trust. Speakers included Kathryn Lwin of River of Flowers (www.riverofflowers.org), Jacqui Weir of the RSPB, and Marie-Claire Edwards, Green Spaces Manager at Kingston Council. The Environment Trust will be joining forces with English Heritage at Marble Hill Park on Sunday October 28th 10-1, to help expand the park's wildflower meadow. See the calender to the right for details. Find out about Transition Town Kingston here.
It's not all back-breaking work ... why not volunteer with the Trust?
