After last week's welcome blog from Nelly, this week we have another new face to introduce. Poppy will be with us over the next month as part of a placement from Bishop Grosseteste University. Let's see what she has to say...
--------------------------------------
Hi guys! I am Poppy. I have just started a work placement at Frampton, so you may see me around the reserve over the next month (Lucky you!) as I am going to be working alongside ‘Chris the visitor guy’. Currently, I am halfway through my English Literature degree at ‘BG’ in Lincoln. As part of one of my modules I get to carry out a placement, so here I am! Obviously I chose to do it at Frampton.
I have always been pretty involved with the RSPB. Ever since 2005, I have attended the local Boston Wildlife Explorers group. As soon as I was old enough, I became a Junior Leader. And now that I am even older I am a fully fledged Leader (Assistant Leader if we’re being specific)! It is from here that I got involved with Frampton.
I have worked at Frampton quite a lot and often volunteer on family fun days. I have even done a work placement here before, although that was quite a few years ago now! I spent a couple of weeks helping the wardens look after Frampton and Freiston. So I am working in a new area this time round. For the next month Iwill get the chance to talk to visitors, write some new blog posts... and even do some ‘boring’ office work too I suppose.
Reedbed, freshwater scrapes, saltmarsh and wet meadow. Frampton Marsh has it all! Come and pay us a visit soon.
