Nature Watch !! Spring update
At the Gossip we have started a nature watch page, to publish any nature news in the parish - such as birds or other animals seen, any interesting flowers or other nature events. If you are interested in being a local recorder, why not send an email to watgossipeditor@gmail.com. We already have 3 people showing interest, so please do get in touch if you want to help.
I am sure you all want to preserve wild life but the habitat is decreasing. To help preserve wild spaces sign a petition to the government, https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/254607
