It is good to read in The Citizen this evening that Randwick Scouts have teamed up with the Stroud Valleys Project to learn more about the environment and their local wildlife. At their last session, the boys enjoyed an evening of looking at various creepy crawlies and learning to identify the most common insects at Hamwell Leaze in Cashes Green (see photo).Hamwell Leaze is a wildlife-friendly three-acre site between Paganhill Lane and Cashes Green Road with varied habitats - quite a rarity in Cainscross, which is one of the most heavily built up areas of Stroud. Stroud Valleys Project plan to organise regular workshops for the Scouts at Hamwell Leaze and Humphrey's Close to help them achieve their environmental badges - it will include a talk and quiz about insects, making bird boxes, planting bulbs and creating a new hedge.
