We are pleased to let you know that the HûG Green Arts Festival will take place at the Foxlowe Arts Centre in Leek this year. We were disappointed when we had to cancel last year’s event but Saturday, June 26th, is now booked in and looking promising. We would be delighted if you could join us between 10.00am and 4.00pm.
At the start of the day there will be the unveiling of the new Foxlowe Garden Dragonfly sculpture situated next to a designated picnic area in the garden. This is a new low-level climbing frame to replace the very popular spider that sadly went to meet her maker a year ago with the help of some beautiful bracket fungi. Both she and her dragonfly replacement have been made for the Foxlowe garden by Martin Evans of Churnet Woodland Crafts.

Hello!
We wish to review our current practices as Moorlands Climate Action as we are looking into our engagement with the Staffordshire Moorlands community post-pandemic.

The focus for this questionnaire is on Moorlands Climate Action.
This questionnaire will be anonymous.
We are using the Community Organiser model as a baseline for our analysis.
The review of this will take place on 21st May so please fill in the questionnaire before then.
