Following on from our
previous post on the Jaguar Land Rover project, the completed
Bird-hide and wildlife area (so kindly constructed for us by
JLR's team of volunteers) was officially opened on 24th
July 2014.
The honours were
undertaken by Joe McNamara, Chair of the Group and Lean Manufacturing
Manager at Jaguar Land Rover, who followed up the proceedings with an
additional financial donation for bird-feeder seed. There will be some very heavy birds flying around the area soon as we rapidly develop into an avian fine-dining establishment!
Joe added his voice to
the gratitude that we all felt for the dedicated JLR volunteer team's
efforts to enhance the quality of life in our local community.
Additional thanks must also go to Signarama for donating the lovely full colour
wildlife guides dotted about the area. These fantastic efforts and
achievements will be put to good use both for our visitor and
educational programmes.
