There will be a short introduction at the start of the event, before we start on a variety of tasks and activities: suitable for all ages and abilities.
We will be concentrating on the other aspects of what CITOs are all about and helping to establish a new Wildlife Garden which will involve transferring and planting some native shrubs and as requested digging a weed trench to allow for burial of more persistent weeds from the garden (bindweed etc) as well as some conservation work.
There will be the opportunity to learn more about our wildlife, environments and heritage skills.
12:30-130pm Bring and enjoy your own picnic
We will have an area set aside for us to enjoy a picnic and catch up, with an indoor area on standby should we need it, but the weather looks good so far.
There will be some fun and interesting activities for all ages and abilities that I have organised that will run from 1pm onwards.
We are warmly invited to stay on at Holton Lee to enjoy exploring the surroundings, find existing caches, and search for some new caches that should be released after the picnic. So for those who have already found the existing caches, you won't be disappointed. You will also have the opportunity to meet the Cache Owner: rosyapple
