## **Achievements and Performance** 

||Conservation|We started the year in lockdown and were therefore unable to<br>do any site work until the end of March when we began a<br>gentle recommencement that took into account the start of<br>nesting season.<br>Sites we are currently supporting include:<br> Crawley Ridge Junior School GU15 2AJ. We helped<br>create a new Forest School area so the initial one could<br>be “rested”|
