The group continues to be an enjoyable way to gain knowledge and enjoyment from
our local natural world. Called West Kesteven Wildlife Watch and RSPB Explorers
they hold monthly events for the youngsters. They visited Whisby for a treasure
hunt and guided tour of the wildlife in February. In March ecologist Jane
Southey lead a riverside walk in the lowfields below Harmston.

Hoof it for horses
Amy Jones 12,
Sam Renshaw 12, and Hayley Jones 10 recently completed a 5km hack out on horse
back around the lanes and pathways near Bassingham and raised £101 for the
charity group Hoof it for horses. The hack out took place on a sunny but cold
January morning and started in Bassingham. We left the village down Linga Lane
and after about 2 km we crossed the bridge and took the footpath along the brook
and then came back to Bassingham along Torgate Lane. We took turns to ride the 2
horses Alfie and Roscoe while 1 of us followed on a bike. Charlie our dog also
came for a walk.
We would like
to thank all the people in the village who sponsored us on this hack out. The
money goes to the hoof it for horses charity. This charity helps to stop cruelty
to horses and rescues them from terrible fates.
