The University owns a large number of sites within the city and beyond, most having extensive external areas. Many of these historic sites, such as the Royal Fort, have a glorious setting and incorporate grounds in which differing habitats and ecosystems flourish, with a wide spectrum of flora and fauna, including notable UK BAP and Avon BAP species. The University takes its responsibility to conserve and encourage biodiversity seriously by managing land and resources using specified habitat plans and, as Bristol’s Green Capital Year fades into the past, it is taking up the mantle of disseminating the importance of maintaining our natural heritage. To this end, with the integral help of the Bluebells (and Lion) guarding the entrance BNS, the University is opening a number of to the Grotto at Goldney Hall these historic sites, some not normally by kind permission of the University of Bristol accessible, for a series of Biodiversity Tours.

    8 June 2010 No 17 Hi, Help make Grove Wood a Local Nature Reserve On Thursday June 10th from 4pm, Bristol City Council's Cabinet will be discussing whether Grove Wood should be declared a Local Nature Reserve and whether they should consider compulsory purchasing the woods to secure its future for wildlife and public enjoyment. A Local Nature Reserve designation would ensure that Grove Wood was managed for wildlife, public enjoyment and educational use - just what the Snuff Mills Action Group have been calling for since 2008. You can help make this happen by: 1) Emailing [email protected] no later than noon on Wednesday June 9th [sorry about the short notice] stating why you think the Council should declare an LNR and buy Grove Wood Title your email: Grove Wood - Cabinet Discussions or something similar 2) Asking to speak at the Cabinet Meeting on June 10th - you need to request this in the email you send the Council 3) Joining Snuff Mills Action Group outside the Council House on College Green on Thursday June 10th at 3.30pm to show how much you want this to happen - make and bring banners! Check the Snuff Mills Action Group blog for more information at http://snuffmills.blogspot.com The report to cabinet can be seen by following the links for the 10th June Cabinet meeting at www.bristol.gov.uk/meetings There was also an article in today's Evening Post, see http://tinyurl.com/24cvo6l ------------------------- Area Green Space Plan Consultation As I mentioned in my last update, the AGSP consultation is starting on Monday (14th June).

    Changes to Bus Service 672

    CHANGES TO BUS SERVICE 672 Starting 6 January 2019 , the timetable of bus service 672 will be revised to improve punctuality by reflecting current traffic conditions. The road works near Temple Meads are having a significant impact on punctuality and they will not be completed for several months. Also, Clarence Road will be closed for up to 16 weeks for major road works in Spring 2019. Buses towards Bristol on service 672 will be re-routed to operate via Redcliff Hill and Redcliffe Way instead of Clarence Road and Temple Gate. The nearest bus stop for Temple Meads will be in Victoria Street at Temple Street. Buses from Bristol will continue to operate via Temple Gate and York Road.
