The Friends of PickeringsPasture and Hale Duck Decoy
AGM 8th APRIL 2013 Chairpersons Report
It has been a very active year for the FoPP. New members, hard work and regular volunteering are helping to ensure a safe future for Pickerings and the Decoy.
The list of our successes and evidence of our commitment goes on and on. A new FoPP website has been created and it is doing well. The donation post has been a great success. The MNA have made us two payments, so far, towards bird feeding, for which we are very grateful. We’ve purchased two new pumps, for the Decoy, tons of wild bird food and saplings, for planting. We sourced wood and wire and paint. We’ve built boxes, benches and fences . We liaise with HBC, TCV and MNA.
We plan, we repair and we build. We take issue with dog dirt, tree felling and poachers. We cooperate, we share and we socialize. Though we can identify lots more that we could do and would like to do, I think The Friends of Pickerings Pasture and Hale Duck Decoy can take pride in what we have done.
