New year, new beginnings...


Happy New Year! This is our first blog of the year and the last one was over a month ago!

The All Our Stories project at Fallin Bing is due to be completed by the end of March this year. Throughout the project, TCV Natural Communities trainee Paul Gunn has helped to organise the habitat creation days and promote the project to the local community of Fallin and surrounding area. Paul’s one year post finishes on the 21st of January and Harry Woolner will be starting with Buglife on the 22nd of January as a TCV Natural Communities trainee. Harry will be continuing Pauls work on this project and will be organising a final event to celebrate the history of Fallin and the work carried out during this project.

Paul has been a great help throughout this project by helping to organise the habitat creation days and promoting the project to the local community.
A major part of this All Our Stories project involves submitting a digital record that will act as a legacy for everyone to see and use. For our digital record we are submitting 20 photographs showing various activities and people that have helped out during the project and this will link back to this blog. The photographs have now been uploaded onto History Pin and can be viewed at: http://www.historypin.com/channels/view/52077/#!photos/list/

Here is one of the images that have been submitted as part of the projects digital record. It was taken during the day of scrub removal back in June last year when we were surrounded by 6-spot burnet moths and several Common blue butterflies. Melissa in the photo is from Stirling University Nature Society (SUNS) and volunteered to help clear scrub.
Paul has been working on a short 13 minute film that we will also submit as part of our digital record. The video will be available shortly and will hopefully be up on this blog by next week.

Thank you Paul for all your hard work over the last year! We definitely couldn't have done this project without you!
