As part of our "Celebrating Swifts" season at Lewes Climate Hub, 32 High Street, Lewes, we had a  wonderful day on 27th April. Edward Mayer, of Swift Conservation, gave a brilliant talk to share ways of improving our natural environment for wildlife and for us. He drew attention to the correspondence between a decrease in Swift numbers and a decrease in biodiversity - and vice versa.

Visitors to the Hub took the opportunity of having a go at our Swift Quiz, making a flying Swift, and  adding their footprint to our "Taking Steps for Wildlife" collage. We are open for more visitors from Wednesday 1st May to Saturday 4th May, 11.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m.

On 10th April we were busy around Lewes, installing more Swift nest boxes and House Martin cups.

There are only a few weeks to go until the Swifts start returning to Lewes!

To celebrate their return, we are hosting a fortnight of activities at Lewes Climate Hub, 32 High Street, Lewes, from 24th April to 4th May. We hope that you can join us!
