Be There for Bee Cause

There's a new Tonbridge and Malling Friends of the Earth local group, and the first event that local members can take part in is the annual Lions Club local charities sponsored walk to support the 'Bee Cause'.

 

These little insects are threatened by loss of habitat, certain insecticides, and disease.   

The loss of bees as pollinators would be a disaster not just for lovers of honey, but also for farmers and gardeners.  It would cause food prices to soar.

 

 

 

The walk starts from Shipbourne Common Sunday May 19, and will be 5 miles long.

(Dressing up as a bee, or wearing yellow and black clothes for the walk is optional, but encouraged) 

 

You can get a sponsor form and friends of the Earth ‘bee cause’ petition cause from TandM.foe@gmail.com or just donate £5, and go along for the walk (dogs on leads are welcome).
