I got round to posting on the blog! It's so long since I've been on that I almost forgot the password.
There are two things I think we should discuss on here. One was suggested by Leah ages ago - what are people's favourite places for taking photos round Sussex - the deadline for the photography competition is September so you should all be out trying to get some good pictures. I really like big open spaces and landscapes (but that's because my cameras not very good at doing small detailed photos). I also think it depends on how the light is more than what you'ree subject is.
The second thing is the votes from Springwatch - as those of you there might have guessed, the camping idea got the most with 55 votes, followed by the day in Stanmer park with 16 votes and lastly the bat wlak which got 13 votes. So, what do we do next? We'll be dicussing this at the next meeting so please come prepared with lots of ideas (bearing in mind that I only have about 6 more days of work before my contract ends and I'll be leaving :(
This means we're a bit limited, but I'm sure there's something you could do.
Anyhow, time for breakfast so ciao for now.

Young People Taking Care Of Sussex
Leah Chevrier
Hi, my name is Leah Chevrier and i'm 15 years old. For as long as i can remember i've loved walking in the countryside, and over the years my interests in ecology, botany, biology, animal welfare and psychology, and wildlife overall have grown greatly! When i heard about plans to create a Youth Council for the Wildife Trust, I thought it was a great idea, as it would finally give young people the chance to tell the Wildlife Trust what we really care about, in person! Since being accepted as a member, i've had loads of fun with the other Councillors, and i believe we've come up with many great ideas and plans to bring awareness of and interest in wildlife to other young people in Sussex... I also hope and believe we will continue to do this, and i can say with sincerity that being part of this Youth Council is an immensely educating and rewarding experience!
Rachel Taylor
Hi, I'm 17 years old and I'm in full time education at the moment whilst volunteering as a Youth Councillor. I've always been interested in wildlife and all things nature-related! From pond-dipping to group discussions; we cover a lot at each of our monthly meetings and the Youth Council has allowed me to get to know others from all around Sussex with ideas that help to improve the Youth Council and which also contribute to the Sussex Wildlife Trust.

Hi I’m Laura! I'm 13 years old. I love playing football and going on walks in the woods. I wanted to be on the Youth Council because I love wildlife and I wanted to be able to encourage others to enjoy it too.
