Did you think that everything had gone quiet in the Old Moor garden? Well, for a while, perhaps. Largely because the garden seems to be taking care of itself. A little bit of regular but light weeding; watering (from a water butt of course); and a lot of watching; to see where things are growing too big, too small, or not growing at all!
But what’s that I hear? A clicking sound? Something buzzing? What an earth could it be? Not wildlife this time, but your chance to make a difference to people’s awareness of the work that the RSPB does locally, for the nature on your doorstep.
I am delighted to announce that RSPB Old Moor has made it through to the semi-finals of a National Lottery Award for Best Environment Project. In order to win, it is necessary for as many people as possible to click the link, or buzz the number below to register their vote between Monday 22 June and Friday 10 July. This gives us just three weeks to show our support for RSPB Old Moor as a deserving winner in this category.
If we win, the project will feature on a Saturday night BBC programme, enabling the RSPB to spread the word to a vast audience about the incredible work we do for local people and wildlife, bringing the nature on their doorstep closer. RSPB Old Moor is truly valued by the people who visit, work and volunteer here. We need to reflect this pride to the rest of the nation.
