THERE IS MORE TO THE FOQNR THAN JUST THE RESERVE

Many people seem to think the FOQNR members are only interested in the reserve.
This is not and never has been the case.
The FQNR has always been an umbrella for a number of environmental issues in the area.
For example the Aldridge Road Recreation Ground comes under the FQNR remit.

We also have close links with the Councillor Keith Linnecor Grot Squad which from time to times litter picks an area out side the reserve but in the Oscott area.
There are also close links with other groups like the Oscott area Neighbourhood Police Initiative and the Oscott Disability group.
The FQNR care about the whole area, encourage keeping our streets clean and recycling.
With the help of our Chairman and Co founder Councillor Keith Linnecor, lobby our Council and other organisations as well as working closely with the Parks department.

We really are a group who do more than complain we try and do.
If you "do" why not join us there is no charge but donations are welcome.

JULY 20 ACTIVITY DAY UPDATE

The FQNR had another good activity day 20th July. More path clearance work and litter picking was was carried.
Once again we were joined by members of the Local Police team who not only spoke to members and residents but yet again rolled up their sleaves to help out with some prunning work

Many thanks to all involved.

DO NOT SWIM IN THE QUESLETT NATURE RESERVE LAKE

The FQNR would like to remind everyone (if you have children please remind them) no one should swim in the Queslett Nature reserve lake it can be dangerous to do so.
It may be tempting in this hot weather but the lake is full of under water obsticles, may still be very cold and is untreated.
We would also suggest dogs are prevented from swimming in the lake.

We hope people will not ignore the Council warning signs in the reserve for their own safety.

QUESLETT NATURE RESERVE ACTIVITY DAY 20TH JULY

The next activity day in the Queslett nature Reserve will be on the 20th July.
meeting at 11pm at the Ashworth Entrance.
Please think of local residents when parking.
We will be pruning and carrying on with litter picking.
Children are welcome under the strict supervision of an appreciate adult.
Please come prepared for the weather and if it is hot, cover up, use sun cream and bring a drink with you.

THANKS TO THE LOCAL POLICE TEAM AND MEMBERS FOR A USEFUL ACTIVITY DAY 13TH JULY

Many thanks to the Local Police Team (Oscott) who came out and helped prune and tidy up the Queslett nature Reserve Sat 13th.and to those members of the FQNR who turned out.
The Ashworth way was pruned back except where birds were still nesting and the Park Ranger was well pleased with our efforts.

HELP PATROL OUR RESERVE

Member of the friends of the Queslett Nature Reserve are asked to be the "eyes and ears of the reserve."
If you use the reserve and spot any anti social behavior please report it to the Police of Ranger service (if you have your mobile with you give them a ring).
Please be care full however and do not put your self in harms way and remember the FQNR have no additional authority in the reserve.

At the moment there have been reports of some people hunting duck, fishing (which is not allowed) setting fires. The Police and Ranger service are patrolling the site but it is large and they need the help of the community.
