Hello?

JAN:

Oh hello. My name's Jan.

JAN:

Are you the right person to talk to about the Buckworth Conservation Group?

PETER:

Yes, I'm Peter. I'm the secretary.

JAN:

Good. I've just moved to this area, and I'm interested in getting involved.

JAN:

I was in a similar group where I used to live.

JAN:

Could you tell me something about your activities, please?

PETER:

Of course. Well, we have a mixture of regular activities and special events.

PETER:

One of the regular ones is trying to keep the beach free of litter.

PETER:

A few of us spend a couple of hours a month on it, and it's awful how much there is to clear.

PETER:

I wish people would be more responsible and take it home with them.

JAN:

I totally agree.

JAN:

I'd be happy to help with that.

JAN:

Is it OK to take dogs?

PETER:

I'm afraid not, as they're banned from the beach itself.

PETER:

You can take them along the cliffs, though. And children are welcome.

JAN:

Right.

PETER:

We also manage a nature reserve, and there's a lot to do there all year round.

PETER:

For example, because it's a popular place to visit, we spend a lot of time looking after the paths and making sure they're in good condition for walking.

JAN:

I could certainly help with that.

PETER:

Good. And we have a programme of creating new habitats there.

PETER:

We've just finished making and installing nesting boxes for birds to use, and next we're going to work on encouraging insects - they're important for the biodiversity of the reserve.

JAN:

They certainly are.

PETER:

Oh, and we're also running a project to identify the different species of butterflies that visit the reserve.

PETER:

You might be interested in taking part in that.

JAN:

Sure. I was involved in something similar where I used to live, counting all the species of moths.

JAN:

I'd enjoy that.

PETER:

Another job we're doing at the reserve is replacing the wall on the southern side, between the parking area and our woodshed.

PETER:

It was badly damaged in a storm last month.

JAN:

ОK.

PETER:

Then as I said, we have a programme of events as well, both at the weekend, and during the week.

JAN:

Right. I presume you have guided walks?

JAN:

I'd like to get to know the local countryside, as I'm new to the area.

PETER:

Yes, we do.

PETER:

The next walk is to Ruston Island, a week on Saturday.

PETER:

We'll be meeting in the car park at Dunsmore Beach at low tide - that's when the sands are dry enough for us to walk to the island without getting wet.

JAN:

Sounds good.

PETER:

The island's a great place to explore.

PETER:

It's quite small, and it's got a range of habitats.

PETER:

It's also an ideal location for seeing seals just off the coast, or even on the beach.

JAN:

OK. And is there anything we should bring, like a picnic, for instance?

PETER:

Yes, do bring one, as it's a full-day walk.

PETER:

And of course it'll be wet walking across and back, so make sure your boots are waterproof.

JAN:

I must buy a new pair - there's a hole in one of my current ones!

JAN:

Well, I'd definitely like to come on the walk.

PETER:

Great. Then later this month we're having a one-day woodwork session in Hopton Wood.

JAN:

I've never tried that before.

JAN:

Is it OK for beginners to take part?

PETER:

Definitely. There'll be a couple of experts leading the session, and we keep the number of participants down, so you'll get as much help as you need.

JAN:

Excellent! I'd love to be able to make chairs.

PETER:

That's probably too ambitious for one day!

PETER:

You'll be starting with wooden spoons, and of course learning how to use the tools.

PETER:

And anything you make is yours to take home with you.

JAN:

That sounds like fun. When is it?

PETER:

It's on the 17th, from 10 a.m. until 3.

PETER:

There's a charge of £35, including lunch, or £40 if you want to camp in the wood.

JAN:

I should think I'll come home the same day.

JAN:

Well, I'd certainly like to join the group.
