SUMMARY:No Mow May
DESCRIPTION:A campaign by Plantlife \nBasically\, we don’t mow our lawns (or even a patch of lawn) throughout May\, and then do a flower count of the unmown area at the end of the month. They have been doing this for some years now – simple to do\, but it provides valuable information and gives small plants a chance to flower and provide a source of nectar for bees and other insects. \nMore information here

SUMMARY:Nature Walk: The Stone House\, Stapleford
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for a nature walk with a difference!  Following on our visit to The Stone House last month Patricia Mirrlees has kindly invited us to walk round her garden.  Tree identification will be the focus of the walk\, looking at leaves\, bark and overall appearance.  A a recent count\, 35 different types of tree were identified in the garden! \nAs usual\, John O’Boyle will lead the walk which starts at 2 pm and will last for about an hour.  It is free; and no need to book – just turn up on the day.  This is a garden walk\, but  we nevertheless advise stout footwear and long trousers; the walk is at participants’ own risk. \nThe Stone House is at 40 MIngle Lane\, opposite the church.  We hope people will walk or cycle\, but if coming by car\, you should be able to park on Gog Magog Way.  Assemble just before 2 pm at the entrance to The Stone House.

SUMMARY:Face to face conversation in a Stapleford garden
DESCRIPTION:  \nWE ARE CORDIALLY INVITED to join Stapleford resident Patricia Mirrlees for a drink and a chat at her home The Stone House\, 40 Mingle Lane\, from 6.30 – 8.00 pm on Wednesday 25 August.  This will be a social occasion at which we can get to know each other\, but we shall also be discussing green issues.  Patricia is particularly interested in how we can work to improve our local environment for wildlife and biodiversity\, be it (for example) by getting councils to reduce verge cutting and allowing grass to grow and planting wildflowers instead; making life easier for insects\, bees and butterflies by planting nectar rich flowers and seldom mowing lawns; and for animals like hedgehogs creating highways by making gaps in garden fences.  Other issues we might discuss are the water crisis or the recent IPCC report – but let’s see where the conversation leads us.  It will be such a luxury not to have a set agenda to work through at speed! \n  \nIf coming by car\, park near the Johnson Hall on Gog Magog Way – the entrance to The Stone House is opposite the church lych gate.  The Stone House has a large garden\, and we shall sit outside.  Patricia will serve soft drinks and tea/coffee. \n  \nWe hope lots of us will be there!  If you can come\, please contact us at the usual address – greengroupssss@gmail.com.  Please let us know by Monday 23 August so Patricia knows how many to expect.

SUMMARY:How to pay for better bus services?
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Zoom (free) \n\n \nEdward Leigh \nfrom Smarter Cambridge Transport \n  \nFew people would disagree that we need better rural bus services. Franchising (re-regulation)\, which would make it easier to provide an integrated\, consistent service\, is now an option in Cambridgeshire.  But to expand service provision significantly will require additional money.  So\, the key question is\, where do we get the money from? \n  \nSmarter Cambridge Transport is an apolitical\, voluntary organisation\, advancing integrated\, sustainable and equitable transport for the Cambridge region. \n  \nAll welcome! \n  \n*To be sent the Zoom link\, email greengroupssss@gmail.com \nwith the header line Bus Services. \n\n \n
