Sharing, conserving and more bug hotels part 1

26th June. A couple of days previously we had been taking the kids for a short evening walk for a breath of fresh air. We hadn't planned to go into the woods near our house but when we walked past the entrance the pull of the trees was such that they really wanted to go in! I didn't have any means of taking photos to record that visit. The main thing that stood out from that exploration was just how much rubbish had been left there especially by the stream. We think it is a popular place for young people to gather. We vowed to return with bin bags! So we did just that with our friends Tamzin and Zora a few days later. They had never been in these woods before so we enjoyed sharing the space with them. We had brought bottles so we could show Zora how to make bughotels. Willow had been delighted to see how many creatures had moved into the one she made in Beavers and had positioned under a Bush in our garden!
