Hello All FTNCG Members and Supporters
This has been another great year for the Forest Town Nature Conservation Group – with plenty of attention paid to making improvements to Spa Ponds.
Our thanks go to all the volunteers who have helped FTNCG throughout 2015, and to those who have kindly donated to support the charity, including our Councillors and ASDA.
