Paul, Julia & Phil met via Zoom
This is a summary of our discussion
1. Phil has set up a Website (this one), a Facebook page and a Twitter account. The Burton Joyce Climate Action & Biodiversity Group on Facebook has 34 members. The Twitter timeline is reflected on the website (You will see it down the right hand side of the screen). Phil would be grateful for feedback on any of these.
2. Julia suggested asking village kids to design a logo for the group. Paul will set up a competition and publicise it to Scouts, Guides and the village school and more widely around the village.
3. We agreed to try and contribute an article to The Magazine (aka The Parish Magazine) each month. Julia will write one this month.
4. Julia is continuing discussions with the Parish Council about improving the village environment. One possibility is (re)creating a wildflower meadow at the Grove. Another idea is planters outside the village shops. Julia is going to look into a source for wildflower seeds and Paul volunteered to make some planters.
5. Paul suggested he could hold an Open Garden event when circumstances permit where we could publicise the group and our objectives, demonstrate ideas for wildlife friendly gardens and engage with the village, especially youngsters.
6. Julia recommended Friends of the Earth webinars and courses. You can find some details HERE
7. We agreed to follow up on a previous approach to Gedling Borough councillor Steve Smith about the Friends of the Earth Climate Plan for Councils
If you can help with any of these, please get in touch
