Art class with St Francis Xavier school

Tuesday, October 23rd 2018

For the last couple of mornings, we have had the lovely year 10 art class from St Francis Xavier School in Richmond on the reserve. They came specifically to draw the birds we have as taxidermies in our Field Centre and education room. This forms part of their coursework, and they will be producing prints from the images they drew today.  We are looking forward to seeing the final product!

The Lapwing proved particularly popular, with some difficult colour combinations, as well as the beautiful European Eagle Owl and Waxwing below. 

Meanwhile the volunteers have been busy continuing the work on the Willow Carr coppice. We have finished clearing all the birch, and are now moving on to selecting which hawthorn to keep, and of course, coppicing the willow. 

We have also been thinning out the area behind the Field Centre, removing some of the birch trees, and clearing around this oak tree giving it a bit more space and light to grow.
