Woodcraft Folk are working for wildlife
Liss Woodcraft Folk bring beneficial rewards for the environment of Liss and for Liss Conservation Volunteers.
The Working for Wildlife project, being run by Liss Woodcraft Folk (LWF), saw young 
members make 20 bird nesting boxes. These were donated to Liss Conservation Volunteers (LCV), who under the direction of John Norris, will locate them along the Riverside Walk. Each box has been named after the young person who made it.
Older members of the 3rd Place group of LWF, are also attending the Sunday workdays to learn about conservation and take part in the maintenance of the riverside area. Last Sunday under the guidance of John Meader, chairman of LCV, they helped create a dead wood, aided the removal of felled trees and cleared an area to encourage new growth. 
Pam Gruber the project co-ordinator said: "These young people are a credit to us. They have worked extremely hard. This project will benefit the whole village."
The project is sponsored by a Heritage Lottery Fund Young Roots Grant, and will run for another six months. The next stage of the project is to build habitat homes for owls, butterflies, sparrows and hedgehogs. 
Anybody interested in the work of Liss Woodcraft Folk, which is a young persons movement, can contact Pam Gruber on 01730 301270.
