Friends of Ashworth Valley<br />
Have Been Keeping Busy<br />
TFoAV have been buzy bees this last month, with the<br />
novel idea of installing a bee library in Ashworth.<br />
There will be a wonderful splash of colour and beautiful display<br />
of flowers at Higher Clough, Carr Wood this summer, as<br />
perennial wildflowers and herbs are to be sown around and<br />
beneath our bee library book nests.<br />
These will provide an additional source of pollen for the solitary<br />
bees.<br />
These book nests are designed to create dwellings for solitary<br />
bees which are excellent pollinators and sadly in decline.<br />
We would like to thank RBC, Enforcement Team and our 3<br />
Ward Councillors, for securing funding for the installation of the<br />
high fencing, plus additional signage warning against fly<br />
tipping.<br />
We have been running a campaign against dog fouling in<br />
Ashworth Valley, placing flags where serial offenders allow<br />
their dogs to foul. It is still an offence and carries a £75 fine,<br />
even on the grass verges and country lanes.<br />
Did you know, there is a serious risk of Toxocariasis which can<br />
cause serious illness, and can even lead to blindness, especially<br />
in children.<br />
BAG IT AND BIN IT IN THE BINS PROVIDED<br />
Many thanks to Streetwise for sponsoring this barrel. All our<br />
planters and flowers in Ashworth are looking splendid.<br />
