We are pleased to tell you that we have been successful in our bid for two grants this year - Fiona Guest's Locality Grant and DBC's Green Community Grant.
With the Locality Grant money (£1000) we will buy a small brush cutter to help with mowing the grass, particularly in the autumn months, and a hedge trimmer to control some of the emergent scrub and to keep the footpaths free of vegetation. The Green Community grant (£1500) will enable us to buy some wildlife monitoring equipment such as a moth trap and generator and a wildlife camera etc. The letter from DBC reads: "You will note that the grant we are providing is more than the amount that you requested. The judges panel wish to send their congratulations and gratitude to all the volunteers that dedicate their time to the success of Halsey Field".
So well done to all our volunteers!!
