We’re now in the consultation stage of our Community Asset Transfer, and this is your last chance to have your say before the survey closes this Sunday.
Every single response makes a real difference. The more people who take part, the stronger our case for securing the land our Centre sits on, and protecting it for the future of our community.
You can get involved by:
– Completing the online survey here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/drylaw
– Filling in a paper copy at the Centre
It only takes a few minutes, but your input helps us hugely.
Please take part and share this post to help us reach as many people as possible before Sunday!
Thank you for your continued support.
TUESDAY 24th FEBRUARY at 6pm
We have a film for you tomorrow night at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre about rewilding. 6pm-8.45. Film starts at 6.30.
There are also two ecology and urban rewilding practitioners coming to speak to us about what we can do to restore nature in our local environments. Wouldn’t it be lovely to keep our birds singing and our local mammals living near us? The deer, badgers and foxes, whether you enjoy seeing them or not are part of our essential environment.
At the base of this food chain are the insects which the birds rely on to feed their chicks.
What can we do to preserve and even increase the natural habitats around us?
Come along and find out Tuesday night and meet some of your neighbours too!
Drop me an email on natalie@drylawnc.org.uk if you’d like to come.
