On July the 6th, the Commons Conservators invite you to a drop-in work party on the Nettlebed Commons. Earlier in the year tree felling has taken place on the commons and the wood that was not of interest was left on the forest floor. The aim for the volunteering day is to clear up as much of the brushwood leftover from tree cutting earlier on the commons. Instead of having brushwood lying around, we will build habitat piles so that the wildlife on our commons can have some refuge.
Place to meet: In the beech forest in Nettlebed Common Wood (See map), where the marked footpath crosses the track. Indicated on the map as blue square.
We aim to work between 10:00 and 12:30 and you are welcome to join at any time that suits you. We aim to have the majority of the work done by 12:30. If you just want to join in for a few minutes rather than the...

There is currently a petition re school funding in the school office which, after Tuesday next week, John Howell will be taking to Parliament.
It would be great to get as many signatures as possible from Nettlebed so please think about calling in to the office to sign on the dotted line and hopefully get a little more funding coming to our school.
