On Tuesday 14th June we had the wonderful opportunity to connect some amazing fundraisers with
their local reserve – Wilwell Farm Cutting. As a thank you for generously raising £584 towards our
Ancient Woodland Appeal and support these diverse and much needed habitats. As a thank you Volunteer Warden Gordon Dyne took the Lady Bay 2nd Brownies and their leaders on a guided walk of the reserve.
Fundraising champions come in all sorts of, however the Lady Bay 2nd Brownies’s fund-raising activity were was definitely one of the more novel fundraisers we had seen in a long time, with the Brownies donating the proceeds from a pre-loved clothing sale they held the December. When asked why they chose Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust they said ‘we wanted the money to go towards a local cause that was doing something positive for the environment, and NWT was the obvious choice’.
Reflecting on the walk and event, Gordon Dyne observed “It was really great to meet a group of young people taking an interest in their natural environment. And I hope they will all take that interest forward into their futures and continue to speak up for our environment in it`s many forms and that we will see some returning as adults to continue the work of nature conservation at Wilwell and other reserves”.
