This last month has been a busy one and firstly I would like to thank all those members and volunteers who help us to maintain our open spaces and public areas for the whole community to enjoy. Particularly this month I would like to thank Tetbury Community Orchard volunteers – Ben Jackson, Eleanor Lines and Philip Langston – who have organised the production and installation of new tree identity signs, at no cost to the charity.

I am also delighted to let you know that the Feoffees have been working in partnership with Tetbury Town Council, Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, Greening Tetbury and Tetbury Footpath Group to develop 3 circular Wildlife Walks in and around Tetbury. Please watch out for the release of the downloadable maps which will highlight, green walking routes, wildlife and landmarks of interest.

Finally, over the last year or so, the Feoffees and Tetbury Town Council have been working with Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and the local community to enhance the watercourse along the old railway track and as part of the Cotswold Kingfisher Trail 2021, in partnership with Tetbury Town Council, we have sponsored a Kingfisher sculpture. This is due to be installed at the Goods Shed on 31st May and I do hope that over the summer you will be able to follow the Trail around the District.

If you think we may be able to help you or your group with an education or training grant or if you would like volunteer to help us or wish to know more about the work we do in our town, please visit our website – www.thefeoffeesoftetbury.co.uk - or speak to one of our members.
