Buttercups, Tadpoles, Dragonflies and Divers-all in a John Muir Session!

The members of the Wednesday group are working on creating a wildflower meadow along the canal bank by the Whitecrook bridge to support the pollinators there. Today they carried out another bug survey to compare the results from a cool cloudy day to the warm and bright weather we enjoyed today. We saw dragonflies, bees, flies, butterflies and may more flying insects.


The group delivered information leaflets to local resident highlighting the work that they will be  doing to create the wildflower meadow.
