Bird Box Making 26th November 2008

Members of the group working in partnership with Groundwork Trust and Tonyrefail Comprehensive School had an evening event to make bird boxes. Pupils from the school were shown how to construct the boxes by Phil Hughes from Groundwork and then had a go themselves. On the night 60 boxes were made. If you would like one to put up in your garden then call into the office where they are available free of charge. Below is a photograph of the group with their completed boxes. A big thanks to everyone who came along and participated.

Keep Wales Tidy

 

Keep Wales Tidy puts a great emphasis on involving and supporting communities in caring for their local environment. Much of our work is focused on working with communities (eg Rivers and Coasts projects) resulting in an increasing number of voluntary groups receiving advice, assistance and support to ‘improve, maintain and own their local environment’.

We believe that this ‘hands-on’ approach is the best way to help deliver sustainable communities. For more information please visit www.keepwalestidy.org
