Jean Goubert an artist from Bristol, is developing some ideas to enhance the public's understanding of what is going on inside the conservation area of Grove Park. We have agreed to build an open one sided hideout from which people can observe what goes on, without disturbing the animals who visit the area. Also a big wooden sign which will contain some illustrations will be erected. Teaming up with Dan Bendel, a Bristol based wood carver and Corin Warlow, an illustrator also from Bristol, they will deliver an illustrated cycle of life cartoon, which explains how the conservation area boosts the biodiversity in the park and some lovely illustrations of species of animals, bugs and plants that you can find in that area. The work has started already and we are planning to be finished by the end of September 2018.

Great news, we are getting close to achieving our goal in fundraising for the Grove Park Bug Palace. We have now received a pledge from a local trust wanting to support this fantastic community building project. But there is still some more work to do to achieve our total goal to fund the entire vision. Lots of interest is growing with new people interested in volunteering for the big build and word getting around, drawing in new supporters daily. We still need more supporters, so please continue to share this vision with friends, family and community members. We still need more gifts to get this project fully off the ground. Even the smallest gift will go a long way to helping. Thanks for all your effort and support.
