Grenoside Reading Room

Ecclesfield Civil Parish Archiving Project have asked us to include information about their forthcoming events. (Read here: Ecclesfield Civil Parish Archiving Project Feb 16 )

Rachel Stevenson of Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust has sent the following message. Many of these events will centre on Grenoside and Greno Woods:

Hello All!,

Happy New 2016 to you all! This is just an email to let you know what we have planned for the woods over the coming year.
We will be running Wild Play and Wild Side events for children to get out into the woods on Thursdays in the school holidays. These be booked on to through our website on this address http://www.wildsheffield.com/whats-on.  The first session will be running for 8 -13 yrs old only (due to cold weather!) in the Feb half term holiday.

In April we will be running a bird spotting and ID day taking in a walk around the woods and maybe over to the Heath for a picnic lunch.

In June we will be running a Wild Flower Meadow walk at Carr House Meadows, our beautiful nature reserve at Wharncliffe Side - well worth a visit!

In the Autumn we will run a fungi / signs of autumn event at Greno.

We will also be running our Volunteer Work Days on the forth Friday of every month. Turn up and stay for the day with us doing habitat management work, or just do an hour to get some exercise! Bring dinner and a drink if you are staying all day.

So hope to see you through the year! I will send out details of the individual events closer to the time and put up posters on site.

Many thanks,
Rachel
