DANE VALLEY WOODS – FINAL TREE PLANTING EVENT THIS SEASON – SUNDAY 27 MARCH 2011 @ 10AM
This winter, with the help of the local community, we have already planted 650 trees of native species – Hazel, Spindle, Dogwood, Field Maple, Ash, Cherry, Oak and Wild Service Tree. We need your help again to plant another 500 trees, continuing to create Margate's very own community woodland. No experience necessary and all ages welcome (under 16s to be accompanied by an adult). We'll provide the tools – just come along dressed for muddy conditions, with sturdy shoes and enthusiasm – it will be your last chance to plant trees with us until next autumn!
Meet at the junction of Dane Valley Road and Kent Road on Sunday 27 March at 10am (CT9 3RX). For more information reply to this email at info@danevalleywoods.org or call 07806 623201. Oh, and don't forget that the clocks go FORWARD earlier that morning!
Looking forward to seeing you, The Dane Valley Woods team. www.danevalleywoods.org www.twitter.com/danevalleywoods
The Windmill Community Allotment Project
Over 55s Gardening, Volunteer Opportunities
Veg Box Scheme
· We are running a new project launch day on Friday 25th March at 10.30am; it's a new gardening group for people over 55, which will run on a regular basis every Friday. No experience is necessary, make new friends, keep fit in the open air and use existing skills and learn new ones; find more details in the attached poster. Numbers are limited. To book a place please call 01843 280 555 or 07717 531 589.
· There is a variety of volunteering opportunities available at the project; we have a range of activities for you to participate in, learn new skills and meet new people. Whatever your level of experience or field of interest, you will be very welcome! Please call 01843 280 555 or 07717 531 589 and ask about the Windmill Volunteer Opportunities.
· Our Veg Box Co-ordinator is now in post, so we are looking to launch our veg box scheme in July this year. We will have a number of different venues around Margate initially and then throughout Thanet, where you will be able to pick up fresh, seasonal vegetables every week, grown locally without chemicals. Recipes and top tips to help you use the contents. Health and convenience in a bag! Call Alex on Tuesdays or Wednesdays on 01843 280555 if you would like to know more.
· If these events/activities aren't of interest to you, they might be to someone you know. Please let others know what is going on at Windmill Community Allotment Project and tell them to drop us a line if they wish to be included in this e-mail newsletter.
· We are going to be launching lots more exciting activities and events in the near future. We don't intend to bombard you with e-mails, but if you feel you received this by accident, or don't wish to learn more about our project, please reply to this e-mail with an e-mail subject of "Unsubscribe" and we will take you off our list.
Thank you for your interest – we hope to see you soon!
