Please come along to the Norfolk Centre on Saturday 17 August for a wildlife and recycling day.
Please note that there will be no Repair Café this month.
You can find out about how you can get involved in local and national projects including The Community Orchard, Arundel Green Team, Bring Back Our Birds, The Hedgehog Club, The POM’S Counting Scheme (Pollinator Monitoring Scheme), The Wombles Community Charity and the Arundel Wombles who will be running the next Arundel Community Clean Up litter pick and Priory Pocket Park
The Wild Tea Cafe will be there all day, serving tea, cake and juice (donations to local woodland projects).
Arundel Green Living’s recycling stall will be there all day to collect your hard to recycle plastics, as well as glass jars for honey and craft projects and newspapers for Brent Lodge Animal Hospital.
Local wildlife artist Alison Ingram will be displaying her paintings of swifts, swallows and house martins, which will be for sale along with her prints and cards.
There will be free activities for children all day – craft activities using recycled materials (donations welcomed for the Arundel Green Team and the Arundel Repair Café) and nature-themed storytelling:
10am-12.30pm Craft activities
- Swifts with card
- Wild pony mini hobby-horses
- Together with a range of other activities
11am-1pm Storytelling with Polly from Children Reading for Life
- Come along and help Polly choose some picture books to share. Hear about some insects…or some dogs who love sausages…or even a little mole who realised that something rather unpleasant had landed on his head!
1.00pm-4.00pm Craft activities
- Pollinator plant planting in recycled plant pots to take home
- Clay sunflowers to paint
- Together with a range of other activities
We hope to see you there, and we hope that you will join us in an exciting range of activities across the town to combat climate change, support biodiversity and bioabundance and help in nature recovery.
Don’t forget to also visit the Pollinators Garden, next to the Norfolk Centre, for the Arundel Bee Project’s Queen Bee Day, celebrating Arundel’s Bee Friendly Town status and the importance of bees and other pollinators!
