Willow Den Reweave Planned
Many of you were involved in the willow den building session last February in Millhouses Park, braving the snow and sleet! Hopefully this time the weather will be kinder, but we will be there rain or shine if you fancy a morning pruning and reweaving the structure so that it will be good for another year. There will be tree planting after lunch too.
Look forward to seeing you on 16th Feb, see flyer for details HERE.

Energy Share Final Scores on the Doors
Thanks for your votes on the Energyshare Website! Unfortunately we didn’t quite make it and were pipped at the post by the North Devon Hospice who want a large solar photovoltaic array, and Shrewsbury Hydro who want a micro-hydro scheme on the River Severn. There’s a table in one of these photos which shows the final scores for all the entrants and shows how many people actually voted for us! Thank you to all of you who voted and to Radio Sheffield, Active8 and Marishka Van Steenburgen for her excellent article.
