BREAKING NEWS

Shropshire’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS). Your Advice Requested! A LNRS is being prepared for Shropshire, one of 48 covering the whole of England, to help meet Government Biodiversity Targets. SOS is involved in identifying the priority bird species, and the actions that will help their recovery. Our draft proposals for comment can be found on our website at THIS LINK. There are two deadlines for your views on the proposal, to fit in with the timetable for preparing the LNRS.
1. Comments on the Long List, including suggested additions or deletions, should be sent by 9.00am on Monday 14 October.
2. Proposals for the shortlist should be sent by 9.00am on Monday 11 November. Comments should be sent by email to leo@leosmith.org.uk.

Land Adjacent to Venus Pool Reserve Sold. The Society understands that the sand quarry adjoining Venus Pool has been sold. This includes a triangle of land (c4 acre/1.6 hectare) that extends into the arable field. As yet, we do not know what the quarry may be used for in the future; planning permission exists for further sand extraction, although we believe a new scheme of working conditions would be required.

Field Trip Organiser Position. The Society needs someone to take on the role of Field Trips Organiser. She/he sets up the programme and finds appropriate leaders for each excursion. If anyone wants details of the role, do not hesitate to email Helen Griffiths at fieldtrips@shropshirebirds.co.uk.
