Sue Smith receiving a £1,000 cheque from GNS Treasurer Andy Oliver

The Gloucestershire Branch was delighted to receive a cheque from Gloucestershire Naturalists’ Society (GNS) which will pay for the creation and production of the Prestbury Leaflet, the updated Rough Bank leaflet planned for later this year, and a new sign board for the butterfly nectar garden at Prinknash Abbey.  This will be a great help in highlighting these areas that are important to many aspects of wildlife in the county and educating people about what can be done to help butterfly and moth species on these sites.

GNS is the natural history recording organisation for Gloucestershire, recording all of the wildlife in the county. GNS publishes a quarterly newsletter, a journal, The Gloucestershire Naturalist and an annual Bird Report as well as organising lectures and field meetings.
