ACTION PROJECTS

Helping You to Help Wildlife

Action Projects have nature conservation and the environment at heart. Come and visit us and see what’s going on over the week. We are running projects both on the Poacher campsite and at local nature reserves.

Here is a taste of what’s on offer:

Protecting the woodland flowers at Sudbrook Park Scout Campsite from cars by re-using old car tyres.

In the garden of the Lincoln Multiple Sclerosis Centre repairing and treating outdoors furniture and fences.

Clearing a pond of overgrowing vegetation at Newt Hollow nature reserve to make it suitable for breeding newts.

At Bridge Organic Farm help us to build an artificial otter holt on the banks of a stream flowing into the river.

Whisby Nature Park willow coppicing, for the benefit of southern marsh orchids and the opportunity to do some willow weaving.

Greetwell Hollow Nature Reserve Stream clearance of over growing vegetation.

Chamber's Farm Wood wildlife surveying looking for the summer plants, butterflies, dragonflies, birds and whatever else can be found.

Putting up woodland bird boxes.

Off site:

Wellies or tough boots and old clothes are a good idea along with a sun hat, waterproofs and a drink.

On site

Making Recycled Paper

Making bird boxes

Lots of environmental games

Making solar powered boats

Backwoods cooking, shelters and solar ovens

There are only a limited number of places on the Action Projects activities and they tend to be filled quickly. Places should be booked in advanced for all off site activities and can be done by coming to the Action Projects Marquee.

The on site activity places are also limited and places for these can be pre-booked, though some places may be available to those who just turn up. !!!!!
