Founded in 2006, the Nettleham Woodland Trust was formed with the long-term objective of providing the people of Nettleham and the neighbouring villages with a much-needed amenity for recreational purposes, including walking, bird watching, horse riding, cycling and education and at the same time encouraging a greater diversity and richer variety of wildlife in the local environment.

RECYCLING WITH LINDSEY u3a
WE CAN ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING AT EVERY u3a MEETING

Batteries, printer cartridges, light bulbs, water jug filters, spectacles, plastic sweet tubs and postage stamps.
Our aim is provide an easily accessible point for members to drop off items which are not collected by your local council for recycling. We can also arrange to collect items from members' homes, who can either not attend the meeting or have difficulty transporting bulky bags.
Please get in touch with
Julie with ideas for any other items we could recycle, or to arrange a collection.
Thank you for your contributions to our January Special collection. 81 chocolate tubs and well over a thousand Christmas cards were collected at the general meeting.
