What can you find on Via this week?
Looks like our Via newsletter decided to take a wellbeing day. https://via.thewi.org.uk/
Fitting, really - because Mental Health Awareness Week starts tomorrow 
Here's a look at some of what's on this week - but the full line-up of live courses, free resources and more is waiting for you on VIA.

From Nicky Bailey, (Life on the Edge team) to the Women’s Conservation Group
Hi all, I just wanted to say thank you to those of you who came out last week – we managed to get so much so much done and hopefully it will have made a big difference to the little hedge trees when they got that much-needed soak on Saturday! And special thanks to Yvonne ( and her husband!) for providing the hot water – a task with no tea break would’ve been a travesty 😊
The next task will be on Thursday 28th May. We will be heading over to Man Sands to do a bee walk, this is a short and fairly simple bee survey, looking for what is out and about at that time, but we will also make sure to record other things we find flying and buzzing around!
This activity is aimed at complete beginners and we will be joined by our Conservation trainee, Mike, who is studying for an MSc in entomology and leads our Friday volunteer surveys. He is a whizz at all things insects, eager to share his passion and will help us to identify what we find along the way!
If you need a pick up the bus will be at Brixham no.12 stop in the town centre ( near the car park) at 1.10pm, or meet at Man sands car park at 1.30pm. You don’t need to bring anything, just clothes for the weather and some walking boots or shoes.
If you would like to come but haven’t yet booked – there are still places available – just email us at lote@southdevon-nl.org.uk
We hope to see you soon!
Nicky
