Not all clear aligners are the same. Only Invisalign clear aligners are made of SmartTrack material, so they are more comfortable to wear and easier to put on and take off.

We have a small onsite community, which is supported by volunteers helping the market garden, care farm and events teams.

At the heart is our dog friendly café, serving fresh organic produce primarily from the market garden onsite, as well as supporting local, seasonal and ethical producers from as close as we can source. We like to say that food travels only ‘FEET’ and not ‘MILES’ to get to your plate.

These natural spaces are supported by donations to maintain and conserve a variety of species of plants & wildlife, through our biodiversity management plan.

The nature trails and café are both firm favourites for local dog walkers, explorers and families.

TEWKESBURY NATURE RESERVEAnd just like that, it’s 2023! Happy new year!

It is definitely feeling like winter at the nature reserve, with regular bouts of flooding leaving the fields soggy and water logged one week, then slightly drier the next and beautiful bouts of frost lining the grass and leaves. As tempera- tures get colder, some of our animal species are hibernating, with our bat and hedgehog species likely to be warm, cosy and sleeping right the way through to March/April. Our bird species and resident otters do not hibernate though so if you are lucky enough you may be able to spot them if you and fancy a wonderful winter walk through the reserve – we just recommend a pair of wellies!

The Green Lung Project is still running until the end of March 2023 at the reserve, with volunteering opportunities, art workshops and other events in the pipeline for 2023! Fancy taking ownership of your local water spaces? Come along to our Citizen Science group which runs twice a month. Or fancy helping manage the practical aspects of the reserve? Come along to our working party groups. For more information on volunteering and how to get involved please email our volunteer co-ordinator Giles at volunteers@tewkesburynaturereserve.org.u k or visit our website on tewkesburynaturereserve.org.uk/supportus/reserve-volunteering/. We have our penultimate Green Skills for Green Recovery Workshop titled ‘Bringing it all together: Managing a Community Flood Plain Nature Reserve’, which will be held on Zoom on Wednesday 11th January from 19:30 – 20:30. To sign up and check updates on other events please visit our website on tewkesburynaturereserve.org.uk/eve nts-calendar-2022/. You can sign up to our mailing list here too to be the first to hear updates!

From January to March we are hoping to run several art workshops, set up a monthly ‘wood whittle and wander’ group, as well as run a collaborative walk and talk with the John Moore Museum and our Nature Guardians group so please keep an eye out on updates on our social media pages and the website page linked.

If you have been involved in the Green Lung Project we would be really grateful for your help in evaluating the project. Findings from the evaluation will help support learning for the reserve and will be crucial in providing evidence for future funding applications to help extend some of the valuable work of the project. Our current funding is due to run out in March 2023 so we are actively seeking funds at the moment. Please email Robyn at learning@ tewkesburynaturereserve.org.uk to find out more about how to help and complete the survey.

OUT & ABOUT with Jack B. Walker

Just before Christmas I took a stroll to a village near to my home to see if the early snowdrops had shown their heads, and sure enough they had, writes Jack B. Walker.

There are many great spots to see snowdrops in this lovely county; Colesbourne is a true spectacle, but I think my personal favourite is The Rococo Garden at Painswick.

These 17th century landscape gardens with a wealth of follies (pictured above and top right), are celebrated for their mag-

Access to Colesbourne Park may be more difficult this year as the A435 between Charlton Kings and Seven Springs will be closed following a landslide. But it’s worth the detour: the parkland boasts over 300 varieties of snowdrop, and is normally open to the public for five weeks from the end of January. See colesbournegardens.org. uk for details
