💚 Back in August a team from Convex Insurance joined us in Sydney Gardens for a Team Day! 🌳 The group got through a huge amount and made a big difference to the park. They improved wildlife habitats for pollinators, removed shrubs, and helped manage the woodland so that native species can thrive. 🙏 A huge thank you to all the Convex team for their fantastic efforts!

It was a fab day! We can't wait to get these new homes for wildlife out in the BS13 parks... 💚
On Saturday the 17th of August, Avon Wildlife Trust collaborated with Your Park Bristol and Bath and Friends of Withywood Park to run a hands-on bat, bird, and hedgehog box making event. 🔨 It always lovely to see the local community in Withywood come together to take action for wildlife. Together we made a wonderful array of boxes which will stay in the BS13 area to support local wildlife. 🦇🦔🐦 A huge thank you to everyone who came to help - you were all amazing and the local wildlife says a big thank you! 🙏 Learn how to build your own wildlife boxes and discover many other ways you can help wildlife at home as part of Team Wilder 👇 https://lnkd.in/eDZYupJy #TeamWilder #Withywood #Bristol #Birdboxes

We are welcoming Offspring Films to the #LocalNatureChampion family! Together we have already transformed Valley Walk in South Bristol for local people and wildlife. The team cleared pathways, litter picked, cleaned river-ways and gave this riverside park the TLC it so sorely needs. 💚 Thank you to the team for all their hard work. We can't wait for our next session!

We’re sure you can’t have failed to see us talking about our #ReimaginingParks campaign over the last few months. We have big ambitions to make sure Bristol and Bath’s parks work for everyone by tackling the barriers that are currently shutting out 200,000 people out. But in case you’re not sure, this is what we’re aiming to do in the next 12 months: - Create one exemplar park in both Bristol and Bath that is fully accessible to cater for all disabilities and differences; - Develop a programme of accessible and enjoyable activities, such as sensory walks, supported play sessions, family activities and accessible gardening, in every neighbourhood in Bristol and Bath to support 2,000 people; - Have one exemplar park in each city redesigned by a woman, with safety in mind and the introduction of female-focused activities and facilities. - Expand our Roots to Wellbeing* GP-referral programme for people with mental health issues to two new areas of health deprivation in Bristol and Bath, to support 100 people each year. - Adapt our Roots to Wellbeing programme to provide regular out of hours activities, such as a summer programme of community gardening, and activities for families, to support 100 people in employment and 100 young people struggling with their mental or physical health. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign so far. We're nearly half way towards our fundraising goal and there's still plenty of time to get involved.
