FoWDG PARTNERSHIP WITH TWEACK
The Withdean Westdene Woods and Eldred Avenue Copse Keepers have been looking after our Local Nature Reserves for over 25 years. TWEACK and FoWDG are now working closely together. We are responsible for the Covert (copse beside The Barn) and proposed changes [to be realised] in front of the Barn, with direct communication with CityParks for insurance and guidance when working with the Ranger. Please participate with any help you can give, such as outdoor workdays or projects. LOOK AFTER OUR SPARROWS TWEACK have been distributing small-bird nest boxes locally. These two are now on the Barn, and we wait to see if the local sparrows move in. Brighton and Hove Sparrow Project are offering these for voluntary donation, so if you could put one or more on your property, please let us know. We will be collecting photo's of their occupation to share with you. WALKS Join Mike and friends for local walks, meeting at The Barn at Westdene Green (where lift sharing can be arranged) or at the starting point.
