Come and try your hand at Willow-weaving   

Friday 18th March and Saturday 19th March 2016  

9:30 am - 12:30 pm  

St Andrew’s Floral Group are building a willow dome for a bird hide and a fedge ( a willow interwoven fence) at the GSPCA , Les Fiers Mouton, St Andrew's. 

All are welcome to come and join in and help us with our Community Project.   

No experience is necessary as Queux Plants will be on hand to give instruction. We are very grateful for the donation from the RSPB for this and trees in addition to the bird and bat boxes that they are going to install. 

This is part of our ‘Going Wild at the GSPCA Project ' where we are improving the grounds of the Animal Shelter to attract wild-life and provide a green and more therapeutic outlook for the animals in their care. 

We have already made great progress but would appreciate additional funding so that we can proceed with our plans. 

£2000 is needed to provide additional planters for the Welfare block and a watering system and further sponsorship of up to £5000 is  required so that work can commence to re-configure the leaking pond to provide a proper pond for the ducks, a waterfall feature and a dipping pool for children next to a new bog garden. 

This will  provide a wider range of habitats for wildlife, as well as being a more attractive feature next to the picnic area. 

We are only a small group of volunteers and we therefore much rely on additional help to progress our projects.  

The Art of Living Community Volunteers, Parish Constables, Specsavers Treasury Department and Community Service offenders are all assisting us to make our Parish even better.   

Future projects include the clearing of the abreuvoir, St Clair’s Fountain, opposite the Parish Church and the digging over of the raised bank at the car park Co-op  / Milton produce on Saturday 2nd April at 9.30am /1.00pm.  

Please contact Ann Wragg 232654   email   [email protected] if you are able to help with any of these projects.
