Linking-up with Haslemere Museum for an Earth-day Blossom and Natural History Society Talk20/4/2024 In April COPSE was involved with several events at Haslemere Museum. On 20th April COPSE provided a Blossom-watch breakfast for the enjoyment of Swan Barn Orchard Group. In the afternoon we helped to support the Museum’s Earth-day, with an array of Haslemere based environment-related organisations and took participants on a Blossom-trail from Haslemere Museum to Swan Barn. The following week Gareth provided a talk in the Museum for Haslemere Natural History Society’s Annual General Meeting on Wildlife Projects in Haslemere (and beyond) show-casing current environment projects in the Town, featuring our Orchard Year film at the end of the talk.
