Still Unknown After 30 Years of Constant Work?

 

 

Interesting that I started seeding wildflowers and have been monitoring w3ildlife in Ashton Vale since I set up the Vale Wildlife Group in 1995 and over those years I had to put up with people very anti wildlife or "rewilding" as it is now known.

 

Now I get sent this item via Face Book messenger:

 

""Upcoming Meetings Saturday, 31 May (2-4pm). Ashton Vale Together are looking at improvements, including in biodiverity, for their neighbourhood. The BS3 Wildlife Group has been invited to set up a table and chat to locals.Come along if you want to know more. The meeting is at the Ashton Vale Community Centre on Risdale Road."

 

My response was:

 

" Really? How difficult was it for people in Ashton Vale to looks up Vale Wildlife Group since its been going since 1995 and monitoring wildlife in the area since then?"

Where were all of these people when grass snakes or adders needed moving on from gardens? Or when wildlife was handed in with a range of injuries? When requests were put out for help to survey local wildlife for 6 years or help in any way?

 

I could also add that when requests were put out on BS3 groups in an attempt to track down injured foxes or foxes that needed urgent treatment there was resounding silence from BS3 Wildlife.

 

All I have had from some members of the BS3 group is that I ought to hand over all my data and let them take over. 

 

Seriously, I give up on asking for cooperation (it is why I changed the group name so that it can advise people throughout the City and County) but to send me the post quote is pushing things. I will continue to do in Ashton Vale what I have been doing for the past 30 years.
