As this is one of our cluster’s target species, our farmers are working to provide good habitat and feeding sites for turtle doves. @NFFNUK @Natures_Voice @AdrianRamsay @Jenny4SuffCoast

Our water quality project in the Blyth Catchment is underway. Samples collected by @SWTWildFarms are tested by @eswater_care and @coastandheaths is funding additional testing for pesticides with FiPL. Data so far were presented at the summer meet up. @DefraGovUK @Jenny4SuffCoast

We’ve joined up with local charity Natural Habitat https://t.co/aF3ZZQ3lBY to host visits from local primary schools funded by a FiPL grant from @coastandheaths. First, the CEVAS training for cluster members with Fiona from @LEAF_Education @LEAF_EdEast @SWTWildFarms @NFFNUK

Here's the glorious poster for our next concert - Gloria.

A wonderful team of internationally working, local, soloists & players will join us at @BrittenPears @SnapeMaltings on 11th November for works by Vivaldi and Handel.

We'd love you to join us too!

Big Moment for the Cluster. We now have a shared Danelander Midi Baler! This will help us reduce the nutrients of meadows and increase wildflower numbers.
