Its here! The film we have all been waiting for.....

As promised in last week’s blog update the film about our work at Fallin Bing through this All Our Stories project is now complete. The film not only covers the habitat creation work carried out at the site during the project but also has information about the history of coal mining at Fallin and includes parts of an interview with Jock Thompson who has lived in Fallin most of his life and who also worked at the coal mine.

This film is part of the legacy of the project and has been uploaded onto History Pin through YouTube for everyone to view, please take the time to watch the film and let us know your thoughts. You can watch it through History pin (http://www.historypin.com/channels/view/52077/#!photos/list/) or directly through YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzLifCIzscU).

The start of the film captures the entrance to Fallin and gives information about the All Our Stories project.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped in the making of the film and also to the editor Paul Gunn (TCV Natural Communities trainee)! He has done a fantastic job going through all the footage we collected throughout the project and piecing it all together to tell the story of Fallin. Without him we wouldn’t have this film!

The film has some excellent footage of pollinating insects, including the beautiful 6-spot burnet moths that were seen foraging at Fallin Bing last year.

As we come to the close of the project we will be having an event to celebrate the project and Fallin’s history towards the end of March. More information about the day will be available nearer the time. We also say a goodbye to Paul who finishes as a TCV Natural Communities trainee next week and a hello to Harry Woolner who will be carrying on the amazing work Paul has been doing over the last year.

Thank you Paul for all your hard work and good luck in the future!
