there is a bunch of wasp nests in Dulwich Upper Wood

I’ve made signs to warn people about the nests

When the queen has no more need for the workers they have to leave the hive Confused and jobless the workers can become erratic!

I left my first corporate volunteer group with Laurie

It was so fun and interesting and a totally different dynamic from the regular volunteer groups I’ve been helping with

Me and Laurie worked very well as a team and took it in turns supporting the volunteers

We got lots more done than we thought we were going to I think this is because we had a good rapport with the volunteers and they genuinely were excited about the impact they were having in the park

Michael dropped off lots of logs from lavender Ponds

These are going to be used for the big 100 volunteer corporate day
