This week we went on a Bee and Butterfly walk with UKEcoNet. Ian Rotherham and Christine Handley took us around Graves Park telling us all about its heritage and landscapes such as the meadows and ancient woodland. We identified some butterflies, moths and ladybirds!

For this month's Nature Connect group, we went to a community BioBlitz event at Shire Brook Nature Reserve. The young people tried out pond dipping, sweep netting, and had a look at moths, a snake, and a toad! Thanks for the amazing event @DefraGovUK @HeritageFundUK

Last week we launched our annual zine for 2025, created by the young people who attend SAYiT. In celebration we showcased the young peoples artwork with a gallery show and zine workshop. If you would like a copy of the zine they will be available at any future events we attend.

Our Fruitbowl groups went on a trip to Weston Park Museum last week, where they had the whole museum to themselves for the evening! We all enjoyed looking around the exhibits and played "museum bingo" where the young people drew pictures to fit into each bingo category!
