A small but wonderful area of wildlife that is the inspiration of local resident and wildlife enthusiast Mark Eccleston along with several other enthusiasts in the vicinity.
Mark along with his dedicated team of helpers, with the kind assistance of the local council and Birse Civils who are working on adjoining and extensive road development has turned this area not just into a green space but a haven for wildlife and we were invited along on November 7 to see what his team has done in just a few short months and with a spend so far of just £300! Quite an achievement! We were also there to offer our manual help in a number of ways.
Rather than repeat what has already been posted on their own excellent blog I'll simply supply the link:- http://lawleygreenspacegroup.blogspot.com
I've also uploaded my own pics into a web album and slide-show and wish to apologise to Pete straightaway for the infamous bird-box shot (but it is funny!).

Hi Paul,
ReplyDeleteNicely donethe blog looks good already. We have just finished creating the dry stone wall around the christmas tree, so that is the end of lugging all those rocks around.
I'll do a post on mine in the next few days, to direct people to your site as I think more people that see the work your group does the better.
Cheers Mark
Cheers Mark. You're doing some sterling stuff over there. And thanks for offering to link our blog to yours - nice one!
