Hi
I am RO for the BTO North East Yorkshire region and am looking to try and find some BBS surveyors for the north west corner of the region I cover. I think some of your members venture south west from your main area of operations and was wondering if anyone is interested.

Good to see that despite the virus issues some success has already been achieved by the Scarborough Swift group. Already have a number of boxes up and surveys have already started to find new nest sites. Well done to Richard Scullion for making and erecting the boxes.

Ash dieback is a fungal disease affecting ash trees across the UK. We have been working with our volunteers @YorksWildlife Grass Wood to tackle dead and dying ash along the paths to keep the site safe for visitors. Open areas will help woodland flowers and butterflies in spring.

Our members and supporters funded over 50 Barn Owl boxes five years ago. Built by @GFutureBuilding and installed by volunteers and staff across Yorkshire, all are still providing safe breeding and roosting sites for Barn Owls, Kestrels and other species. #FridayFeeling

This scrape was put in at Low Carr Farm nr Pickering several years ago and today held three Jack Snipe and at least a dozen Snipe. Wet corners like this are disappearing from the landscape, so we're trying to put some back to help our wildlife. #NatureRecoveryNetwork

Looking back at the 2019 @BBS_birds data from Yorkshire Northeast - a massive THANK YOU to all the volunteers in the region.

Over 20 squares were covered & 80.2km racked up along the transects! Anyone with outstanding data for 2019, please post forms to BTO HQ asap. Thank you!

Things we can all do, not just today, but every day:
- be kind
- ask people how they are (twice)
- listen

For every £1 invested in regular nature volunteering projects, which play a part in creating a healthy lifestyle by tackling problems like physical inactivity or loneliness, there is a £8.50 social return
