Exciting news - The Friends of the Lower Derwent Valley (FoLDV)
have been short listed in the Aviva Community Awards, in a bid to provide
scientific equipment to help study the international bird populations of the
valley, through ringing and radio/satellite tracking. Not only will this
help us to provide suitable management and conditions, but it will also help us
delve into the international wanderings and conservation needs on a wider
global scale, such as our recent work on Whimbrel, which lead to the
production of the children’s book, Winston’s Journey. Not only that, the
project is also aimed at engaging local communities, taking the results into
schools and working alongside local groups to collect the data – a real
community driven project. Having got through the initial rounds, we now need
your votes to help secure the funding. Voting is fairly straight forward
and only takes a couple of minutes, please click on the link below, register
your e-mail address and then add your votes (you’re allowed 10) – all 10 to
our project would be fantastic! Please do take the time to vote and please share,
forward, retweet and generally spread the word and encourage others to do so –
thank you and fingers crossed for a win! https://community-fund.aviva.co.uk/voting/project/view/17-1914
