SAVE OUR POPLAR TREES
We've heard about a local campaign to preserve 34 poplar trees behind St John's School. See Save our Poplars on Facebook for more information, or scan below.
THE BIG PLASTIC COUNT
Sign up today to The Big Plastic Count 16 to 22 May 2022. This is a great way for us to find out how much plastic we are using, what sort it is, and what we are doing with it. See what Chris Packham says about the campaign.
LOCAL BIKE RIDES FOR EVERYONE
The SLH bike rides for 2022 have just started. You can find details on our website. Booking the rides is essential - please send an email cycling@slheatons.org. Come and join in. Our rides are a lot of fun!
FREE EVENING BAT WALKS IN HEATON MERSEY
Our bat walks started at the end of March. We have been using our monitors to hear the bats in flight and we've even seen a few too. It's enchanting and magical! The walks are booking up fast. Book on our Eventbrite page now to reserve your place or go to our website. If you have any questions or comments please contact info@slheatons.org
HEATON MERSEY VILLAGE GARDEN
The gardening team meet to maintain the garden on the fourth Tuesday and the second Sunday of the month from 10.30am to 12.30pm. Everyone is welcome to join in.
The garden is opposite the set of shops that includes McColls and The Good Life, and next to the Sea Scouts hut and the car park on Didsbury Road. Bring gloves and small tools if you have them, although the team will come with some equipment. More information from info@slheatons.org
HEDGE MAINTENANCE: NEXT SESSION SUNDAY APRIL 24TH
Please note we have altered the maintenance date this month. We will clear the area on either side, pick up litter, plant a few donated bulbs and see if we need to do more to relay the hedge. Wear sturdy shoes and long sleeves and bring gloves, secateurs, shears and a trowel if you have them, although we will come with some equipment.
The hedge is between Priestnall allotments and the recreation field, on the lane that links Trentham Avenue (SK4 3QD) and Mersey Road. Everyone is welcome to pop along for as long as you wish. More information from info@slheatons.org
MONTHLY MEETINGS
The SLH monthly meetings are usually on the first Saturday of the month, but please check our website for up-to-date information. Contact info@slheatons.org if you would like to know more. We use the time to discuss and plan our activities, and have occasional guest speakers. Do come and meet us!
The next meeting will be on Saturday 7th May 2022 from 10.30am to 12.00pm in the Willow Room at The Heatons Centre, next to Heatons Library, Thornfield Rd, SK4 3LD. The entrance is at the back of the centre.
