F.O.Q.N.R NEWS IN BRIEF
F.O.Q.N.R GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
During the last 12 months there have been a number of sessions in the reserve where pruning and clearance work has been carried out under the supervision of Dr Stephan Bodar, the Councils Bio Diversity Officer.
During these sessions a number bushes, which have encroached paths have been cut back. The lake has had rubbish removed from it and clearance work near it, to allow more light to reach the lake has been carried out. There have also been a number of litter picking sessions including at the Aldridge Road Recreation Ground.
New trees and bushes have been planted, mainly near the new fence along the Booths Lane and Ashworth Road Boundary. Wild life friendly, seed planting has also taken place at various locations within the reserve. There have also been bat and wild life walks organised on the site. A number of Bat, bird and Owl boxes have also been put up in the reserve.
NEW FENCE ERRECTED.
Following years of complaints about the state of the Ashworth Road Boundary fence and gate the Leisure Services department decided to replace them with a new one. This fence was put up at the same location as the old one. There has been some minor vandalism to this fence unfortunately, but the Parks department have agreed to replace the damaged section.
NO CHARGE TO BE A MEMBER OF THE F.O.Q.N.R
Plans to charge for membership of the FOQNR have been rejected. The enthusiasm and commitment to the environment and the Reserve is the main requirement of members. The FOQNR is an organisation for those who really care and want to help the reserve and the environment. However contributions towards helping the FOQNR look after the reserve are more than welcome.
If you want to be considered for membership of the Friends of the Queslett Nature Reserve or want to find out more about the FOQNR please contact me -360 6486
Yours sincerely
