We are very grateful to have been supported with funding from:
Grant for start-up funding from the Wessex Water Foundation Environment Fund. Their Environment Fund supports charitable and community activities across the region that have a positive impact on the local environment.
Grant from The Wildflower Society for 'botanical events for children and young people'. They are a national society for amateur botanists and wild flower lovers in Britain and Ireland who work to promote awareness of wildflowers, especially amoung younsters, as well as to educate about conservation of wildflowers, British flora and the countryside.
