NEWS
The
dene top is now in bloom with Yellow Rattle, Meadow Buttercups, Knapweed, Oxeye
Daisy and a variety of grasses and other plants. We have had a considerable
number of Northern Marsh and Common Spotted-Orchids at the west end of the dene
top. We
are losing two DoE Gold volunteers who have been with us for 18 months completing
their Community Work with us and wish them all the best for the future. We have also had a mystery judge for the green flag
this year, but the results will not be released until the 18th July. Many
thanks to Capita who very quickly repaired the damage to the bridge at the
bottom of the Scout path and to some of the ladies from The Whitley Bay and
District Soroptimists who helped us with a litter pick leaving us clear to work
on the footpaths.
