Please go to the top of the page and click on MORE, then DIARY DATES to find out more We will continue to run the Pickerings Pasture Pop-up Café, in the Visitors Centre, selling refreshments, book and bits and opening the public toilets, most Sundays. Over the next few months, as it gets lighter in the evening, the gates to the site will close later. Over the summer, from April, the gates close at 7pm. It is important to move cars from the site by this time, as visitors may find themselves locked in by security staff. PICKERINGS PASTURE

AGM 14th APRIL 2014 Chairperson's Report
The last year has been a busy, eventful and rewarding year for the FoPP. Not all meetings and actions have been included but the list will give a good flavour of our volunteer activities. We have enjoyed the success of our Pop Up Café most Sundays and the Visitors Centre is being put to good use. We have set in motion the replanting of the Wild Flower Meadow and the production of new interpretation boards and we look forward to seeing them in place. We have a new bench provided by HBC, just off the car park and we now have some input into the management of the Control Meadow and the cutting of the other meadows. Our website goes from strength to strength and helps to share what we do and see with many people, near and far. We’ve had continued support from TCV and Home Retail Group volunteers on both sites. The Open Spaces Team continues to support and encourage our efforts. FoPP members deserve a pat on the back for their volunteer commitment and practical efforts at Pickerings Pasture and Hale Duck Decoy.
