Back in December at the Jeanneret home, mum Carly put out 3 Christmas wreaths for recycling, but before she had chance, a family of robins nested in one of them. Mrs Robin laid 3 eggs, and 3 baby robins hatched in April. Carly kindly donated the other 2 wreaths to Marriott Green and these are hanging on trees, waiting for more robins to make their nests.<\/p>\n

If anyone has any wreaths they\u2019d like to donate (at any time of the year), we would love to hang more up.<\/p>\n\n\n

Inspired by Louis and his family?<\/strong> We would love to add more bird boxes etc to the East Farndon hotel complex. Children \u2013 grab your parents! Here are some ideas for building bird boxes, bug hotels and hedgehog houses. There are lots of websites that tell you how to build them \u2013 these are a few examples:<\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Keen to help?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Volunteers are turning the neglected area of land around the green container on Marriott Green into a wildlife area. If you can help in any way, for example, donating plants, bird boxes etc \u2013 or if you have some great ideas, please contact Anthea, Donna and Judy via the website. Plants (e.g. colourful bushes) for the grass bank that borders the road would also be gratefully received.<\/p>\n
