7 hectares for playing field is given to nature in a partnership between the RSPB local group and Worcester University at Lakeside Campus. 2 hectares are birdseed crop. I checked yesterday and considering it was mown grass 4/5 years ago the diversity and numbers of birds is quite amazing.

The Worcester & Malvern RSPB group is supporting and campaigning for this appeal. Two RSPB group members have each pledged up to £20,000 (10k each) of match funding. So every pound you give will be doubled.
