The Big Tysoe Wildlife Gathering
January 14 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
JOIN OUR TYSOE MURMURATION . . .
The idea is to bring our various nature and wildlife interests together under one big roof to discuss plans for the year ahead. That way we can keep the focus on nature and encourage more people to get involved. Our aim is to celebrate and value the wildlife that surrounds us. Simple, everyday wildlife.
We hope that together we can develop our own Tysoe Almanac – a series of wildlife events, talks, activities and projects which take place throughout the year focused on wildlife, whether that’s:
- Taking part in the Big Garden Birdwatch
- Making and putting up bird boxes
- Listening to the dawn chorus at the Natural Burial Ground
- Supporting No Mow May
- Filling in gaps in hedgerows
- Planting for pollinators and bats
- Cutting openings in garden fences for hedgehogs to pass through
- Staging a BioBlitz to find plants, animals and fungi, etc at the Community Orchard
- Holding wildlife workshops for children in the summer holidays . .
There’s a whole host of things that we can all do to make space for wildlife. You may have some suggestions of your own which you would like to share.
Our aim is the same as the illustrator Jackie Morris states in The Lost Words, “created as a hope, to re-engage an interest, to refocus the mind’s eye, to celebrate the nearby wild and awaken a sense of wonder and awe for the amazing planet we live on.”
PLEASE MAKE A NOTE IN YOUR DIARIES AND COME JOIN US!
