Our Autumn field trip will be to the LWT Reserve Woodhall Spa Airfield
on Sunday 30 September where LWT
Warden Kevin James will give us a guided tour. We will meet at 1000hrs at the
main gates on the B1192 Tattershall Road through Woodhall Spa town. The nearest
post code is LN4 4JT and the OS Map reference is TF 206608.
We shall be on site for about
2 hours, there are no loos once you leave Woodhall Spa. For the most part the
going is flat along the old main runway where wheel chairs can have a good run.
There will be lots to see so bring
your telescopes and binoculars as well as your fauna and flora ID guides.
Work parties will take place from 0930hrs at Rigsby Wood on 14
October and on 28 October at Swinn Wood.
INFORMATION COFFEE MORNING SATURDAY 10 NOVEMBER
EARLY WARNING AND SEASONAL SCROUNGING
Our annual fund-raising event will take place at the ConocoPhillips Room
in Louth between 1000hrs and noon on Saturday 10 November. There will be a
chance to buy Wildlife Trust Christmas cards and calendars plus the opportunity
to view displays as well as having a coffee and a chat.
We shall have a Raffle! However, we do
need prizes. If you are kind enough to donate a prize, please bring it along to
the LAG indoor meeting on 26 October or let me know on lag2104rww@aol.com and I will arrange to collect it.
‘THE LOST WORDS’ – A REMINDER
Since 2010 common countryside words like
acorn, wren, kingfisher and conker started to disappear from children's books. Earlier
in the year the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust set up 'Crowdfunder' campaign to raise £5,000 to help bring these lost words
back to life. In fact, you may well have contributed to the campaign. It was
intended to buy every primary, junior and special school in Lincolnshire, North
Lincolnshire and North-East Lincolnshire a copy of a wonderful book.
SUCCESS AND HELP
You may be aware that the
Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust has been successful in reaching its fundraising
target. But, the fundraising target didn't include funds to cover the costs of
postage. Now comes the task of delivering the books to the schools!
Members of the Louth Area
Group have arranged to deliver books to several schools in the area. However,
those listed below still need to be visited. If you have an affinity with any
of these schools, you may care to deliver a copy of the book to ‘your school’.
Please let me know the name of the school by 25 September on lag2014rww@aol.com
and I will let you have more details.
Best wishes
