There are different feeders you can make and the event is fun for all ages.

Newsome Wild is a new voluntary group forming to adopt a piece of unused land in the village. The hope is this land can be used to create a garden and outdoor space for the community as well as increase the biodiversity to support native and rehabilitated wildlife.
🌼🌷🏵️🐜🐝🕷️🐛🦋🦟🦗🐌
This is an open day to meet and chat about the proposed ideas for the unused land and turning it into a community outdoor space.
Saturday 23rd October from 10am to 4pm at Newsome Scout Hall.
A full planning application has been submitted to Kirklees Council for building 22 houses on the Newsome Mill Ponds site and the land at Hart Street. We know that this heritage greenspace matters to our community – the overwhelming response we hear in Newsome is that local people value, benefit from and want to retain this open space. If Newsome Mill Ponds matter to you, please share your views about these proposals.
You have until Tuesday 8th June 2021 to share your views. Find out how:
