Bluebells& Walks

This month, the Ipswich Group of the Suffolk Wildlife Trust is extending a warm welcome to any local people who want to learn more about, and enjoy, the county’s plants and animals with a day of events.

In the morning of Wednesday 26th April, people are being invited to book to visit one of Suffolk’s finest places to see bluebells – Bradfield Woods near Bury St Edmunds. The tour will be led by one of the wardens who manages this ancient woodland so people can find out what it takes to keep the bluebells flowering and hopefully spot a range of other plants and woodland birds.

In the evening there is a very special illustrated talk by local wildlife enthusiast Pam Evans who decided the best way to truly experience Suffolk’s wonderful plants and animals was to undertake a walk from Lowestoft to Flatford.

Prices from £3 to £5 and everyone is welcome regardless of whether they are a member of SWT.

Full details can be found by selecting Ipswich on the local group filter of this website: www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org/events

Whatever your requirements are, Eastern Counties Home Improvements Ltd have the double glazing window solutions to solve them. Single glazed windows, or those installed before April 2002, could be losing heat and therefore money. Switching to energy efficient windows can significantly save energy and reduce your heating bills.

A staggering 25%-30% of heat lost from houses is through the windows, from the homeowners point of view lost heat equates to lost money and to the environment it means more carbon is released as a result of higher fuel use. Replacing wooden windows with energy efficient A rated PVC-u windows could save you a small fortune on your heating costs as well as reducing noise, draughts and condensation

Windows are now rated in the same way as electrical appliances with an A, B, C etc rating to indicate energy usage. The energy rating is determined the ‘U’ Value which is a measure of how well heat passes through a material. The lower the ‘U’ Value the greater the resistance to heat flows and therefore the better the insulating qualities.
