Fantastic day yesterday with Friends of Levengrove doing some training in how to survey for pollinators with the POMS Flower-Insect Timed Count (FIT Count) survey. Helping to track insect populations nationwide and locally. Anyone can take part in the survey and it's only 10 mins. You can do as many as you like wherever you have flowers anytime between April and September. To find out more about the scheme and how to get involved follow this link: https://ukpoms.org.uk/index.php/

Last week was celebrating all the time and effort volunteers contribute in lots of different ways.

We're a little late as we spent a lot of last week away from a computer but just wanted to recognise and say a huge thank you to everyone in West Dunbartonshire who volunteers their time to help support our wonderful wildlife.

Be that joining in with a Ranger Service or TCV Scotland volunteering session, running a community garden group, local friends of group or coordinating litter picks and invasive species removal. There's so many people tirelessly working in groups and individually to help our local neighbours in nature. Thank you for all your hard work 🥳
