Stroud Valleys Project - DRAGONS IN STONEHOUSE?

If you want to see a modern-day dragon, head down to Stroud Valleys Project’s annual survey of Great Crested Newts in Stonehouse on Friday 13^th (7.30-9PM) and Saturday 14^th April (7-8.30AM).

Help SVP’s Green Team volunteers count Great Crested Newts, one of our local protected species. This annual survey is a rare opportunity to get a close-up view of newts and find out about their ecology. We will set up newt-friendly traps on Friday evening, check them early on Saturday morning and release the newts back to where we found them.

Wear wellies and outdoor gear, and bring a torch for the evening session. No toilets or refreshments on site.

Donations welcome.

Meeting point: The entrance to Court View, Stonehouse (opposite Stonehouse Court Hotel, off the A417)

For details and to book a place contact Ivi Szaboova on 01453 753358 or 07876 050878 on the day of the event.

Our Volunteers Say

Quote

I've found the projects inspiring and I've developed skills I didn't know I had, to the extent that I am now able to find employment in new fields.

I will always be grateful to the staff and volunteers at Stroud Valleys Project for their encouragement and warm support.

Being involved with Stroud Valleys Project has been a great experience. I've enjoyed and learnt so much through various courses and volunteer projects I've worked on.

Thank you all at SVP for the help and support you have given me in the last couple of years, which has helped me to get my foot back on the ladder in the world of work.

I loved the course (Veg Growing), it was the highlight of my week

“Often I feel so bad I don’t want to do anything but after coming here, working with my group in the sunshine, I always feel more cheerful. They are my friends now.”

“Volunteering with SVP is the best thing that happened to me in my life.”

“I never thought I would get into gardening and growing stuff, but through all my work with SVP I have learnt to really appreciate nature.”

“We get lots of work done – and we have a laugh!”

“Our group is like pieces from a jigsaw puzzle. Everybody mucks in and does what they can, and the job gets finished in no time.”

“When somebody has a bad day, the others in the team make them feel better.”

“I learn lots of interesting things and I feel useful.”
