14th March 2011
Coming soon to Brickfields..... As you might be aware, a lot of changes have taken place over Brickfields, for a start, despite some terrible wet weather, hardened pathways have been put down. You can see some of work undertaken, click on photographs. I have also put in the photograph section some drawings of Way markers (sign posts), a lectern which will give useful information. The Way makers are going to be wooden carved posts depicting some different types of birds and other creatures which have been seen or recorded at Brickfields. The carvings and the artwork have been commissioned by the council and Alan Harris is to undertake the artwork for the panels and Steve Portchmouth is to produce the Sculptures. I am sure these artists will produce some added beauty to the site. A new leaflet is to be produced as a written guide to what can be seen and where. It will also show the walks and trails you can take. I for one am looking forward to the additions. A date for your diary - Saturday 26th March, more tree planting, so come along to help or encourge others who can do the work ! Tools are provided. Help planting the trees will leave a lasting legacy and you can say I did that !
While you are there you can have a look around the reserve. I will be there, however I feel a backache coming on.......
Below the drawings of a Bench with carvings, a post with a Sloworm & Butterfly, another with a Frog & Water Vole, all to be carved....Delightful !
