The Saturday session will be joint session with the NWT City Local Group at Sandy Banks LNR. As its name suggest this site is has banks of sand, these make excellent habitat for a variety of solitary bees and other insects, which burrow into the sand to create nests and lay eggs. Our task will be to re-expose some of the banks that have gradually become overgrown with grass and scrub.
Meeting place for both sessions is the southern gate of the reserve on Edwards Lane & Beckhampton Road, NG5 5SP. Bus 79 or 89, Oxclose Police Station. ///sculpture.frog.garden,
