Tree Saplings looking for a Good Home

John Telfer has grown a variety of tree saplings from local seed in this garden.  He requires the space they are occupying.  So he is offering them on a first come first serve basis to anyone who can use them.  There is a variety of hardwood and conifer species including oak, ash, beech and rowan.

New Mammal Group for Grampian

The speaker at our November meeting - Hollie Walker, the Red Squirrel Project Officer - is setting up a local group of the Mammal Society.  This will be the first Mammal Society branch in Scotland and will cover the Grampian region.  Anyone interested should contact Hollie at: grampianmammals@googlemail.com

Hollie very kindly stepped in at very short notice when one of our speakers was ill - she gave an excellent and passionate talk about the new Mammal Group for Grampian.

The branch started running a raffle at the indoor meetings last winter. All the prizes were donated by members, meaning all the money raised went to branch funds. So if anyone would like to donate items for prizes for meetings this winter they will be greatly appreciated. Please contact me if you have any suitable items. Thank you.

Every newsletter delivered by hand saves the branch the cost of a stamp. There are already a band of volunteers who deliver a bundle of newsletters in their area, whether a few streets in the city or a village in the shire. But we could do with wider coverage. So if there is anyone out there who would like an evening or two of exercise twice a year please contact me.

Volunteering

If you are interested in helping Mike on any of the SWT sites, talk to any committee member and they will give you details.  All hands are always welcome!

Please send any contributions/suggestions to me or to anyone on committee. Photos of wildlife in Scotland, especially on SWT outings would be really welcome.
