This is the latest newsletter from the FOTB:
Since our last email in
early April, volunteers have been busy clearing grass and putting a
layer of mulch around young trees. We do this to help them establish
quicker and grow into healthier specimens.
The tree copses were planted about 3 years ago in early 2012
Volunteers
have also planted a small area in Sid Meadow with
more wild-flowers that we collected from last years flowers. We are
hoping that previous sowings will come back up naturally and put on a
good show. http://www.facebook.com/media/ set/?set=a.1130401476985811
Next Tuesday 12th May, 7pm we will be holding our AGM at Sidford Rugby / Community Pavilion, Byes close, Sidford, EX10 9PY, please see poster attached.
We hope you can join us for a talk by local historian professor Brian
Golding on ‘The History of The Byes’. Everyone is welcome and
refreshments will be supplied.
We will also be launching our consultation to help in the forming of a 5 year management plan.
We
are aiming to prepare it throughout 2015 with the help of Bicton
College and consolidate all input into a 5 year management plan at the
end of 2015. We are inviting land owners National Trust, East Devon
District Council and Sid Vale Association for their input.
Importantly
we are also inviting all locals and visitors to offer their thoughts on
the Byes. Please take a few moments to share your thoughts on the Byes
and what you improvements or management you would like to see over the
next 5 years. To help get you started there is an attached consultation that can be completed and emailed back to FOTByes@gmail.com
To speak about volunteering or our AGM please phone Kati on 01395 578344 or 07817 041239
One photo attached is of volunteers taking a break in Sid Meadow on one of our Saturday volunteer mornings.
The other two attached photos
are both looking North at the bottom of Sid Meadow AKA Roly Poly Hills,
the older one was taken in 1897 which we borrowed it from an article by
Nigel Hyman on the History of the Byes.
