We had a really positive meeting of 30 East Kent Moth-ers yesterday at which we agreed to form a Kent Moth Group which will cover the whole county. Anyone who is interested in joining the group should email mothsinkent@gmail.com. The main agreements made at the meeting where as follows:
- The group will meet 6 monthly
- Karen B and Dave S to contact mothers to invite them to submit records and / or join the group
- Karen B, Dave S and Richard O to develop a new website for the group
- All mothers to submit records in a usable format for mapmate
- Field trips will continue to be arranged informally
- Information on significant species and migrants to be prioritized for the website and report
- An electronic newsletter / report will be produced once sufficient data has been verified
- A small group will meet monthly to oversee progress. Initially this will be Karen Bartlett, Ian and Sally Hunter, Dave Shenton, Ian Hodgson and Francis Solly
- Close links with Kent Butterfly Conservation to be established
A proper Kent Moth Group was very much needed, you can count me as a member. Will there be field trips? I always thought that “mothers” was hyphenated thus, “moth-ers” This is how have always used it.
