However for the fish in our lakes this is not such a problem and yesterday 1200 fish were released into our small lake, which were kindly donated by the Environment Agency. The EA were joined by the Holy Family Catholic Primary School from Southampton who were staying with us and kindly offered to help release the fish into the lake.
Recently we have seen the departure of our European Volunteer Student, Jana, back to Slovakia after a year with us and we are going to miss her as she was a very helpful and willing volunteer who was a credit to the EVS project. Here she is pictured with our excellent new Head Chef who assisted Jana in creating a typical Slovakian Lunch for staff and guests before her departure.
We have also recently had a visit from volunteers from UPS who spent the day removing overgrown vegetation from between the two lakes so the area remains open and the wildlife have suitable wetland to play in. We are very grateful for the work completed by the UPS team who worked hard. We said our thank you by feeding them well on the day andalso let them play on our high ropes, which they all enjoyed. If any corporate group would like to do a volunteer day at Avon Tyrrell please do contact us on the details below, its actually good fun, promise....
Our Eco Health Project continues to work hard looking after the grounds and they have now erected their Polly Tunnel in preparation for the start of increasing their vegetable production for next year. The plan is that they will supply our kitchen with some fresh vegetables when they can. This will help towards the Avon Tyrrell sustainability plan.
