The North Pennines AONB Partnership would like to invite you to an evening meeting to talk about upland hay meadow management, gardening for bumblebees and a discussion on the future of the developing North Pennines Smallholder Network.

Ruth Starr-Keddle will give a short presentation on general upland hay meadow management, to compliment the workshop held in the summer.

Mandy Oliver will give a short presentation to show us the best flowers to plant in gardens to support bumblebees. Finally, we would like to hold an open discussion to find out what people have thought about the last year and how the next few years might develop. What workshops would you like? What other ideas do you have? How can the network become self-sufficient?

If you would like to attend the meeting, please email Ruth
