Fun and Falconry!

After last year’s torrential downpours, to everyone’s relief the Environment Day on Sunday 20th May took place in perfect May weather
Burngreave Environmental Day
Dry-stone walling, community forestry, recycling information, tools to borrow or hanging baskets to buy, free cycle testing, an inflatable football pitch and mobile climbing wall were all there to tempt you.
A falconry display – with a trained peregrine falcon and a vulture flying millimetres over their heads – drew a fascinated crowd of local children. “It’s really chilled out – a real community event,” commented one visitor relaxing on the steps of Abbeyfield Park House with a drink from Betty’s tea stall.
