We will be at the Patagonia shop in Manchester on Saturday 2nd June holding a stall with information on our projects and how you can get involved.

We will be putting up our blue gazebo - getting out our kick sample nets and trays - and recording the fish and insects we can find in the Dean Brook on the Smithills Estate in Bolton as part of The Woodland Trusts and Greater Manchester Ecology Units Bio-Blitz at this location.
EVERYONE is welcome to take part - no matter what their level of experience/knowledge/expertise - should be really good fun.

We would like to invite you to this exciting event in Manchester on 21st May. The event will take place at the Mechanics Institute in central Manchester.

Collaborative water management in the urban environment can realise multiple benefits including reduced flood risk, improved water quality and biodiversity, greater amenity and enhanced community health and wellbeing.

The workshop will be held on 21^st May at the Mechanics Institute in Manchester, M1 6DD. Booking is essential via this link.

This event is designed to build capacity and expertise with Local Authorities and other key stakeholders within CaBA partnerships to help drive greater collaborative delivery within the urban environment.
