Saturday 14th June: Dawn Chorus Walk
Saturday 17th May: Bramley Village Fete
Come and say hello to us at the Village Fete and enter the (free) "Name the Elm" competition. We wish to give names to the 5 Elm trees recently planted in St James Park. The 5 winning names will each win a "Hedgehog in a bag" with the name of the Elm embroidered on it. A great chance to be a part of Bramley's local history.
The elm tree has been regarded as a symbol of wisdom and intuition. In Celtic mythology, the elm was associated with the god Lugh, renowned for his intelligence and skill. The tree's fine-grained wood was highly valued by craftsmen, reinforcing its connection to wisdom and craftsmanship. Let's hope are names are picked with wisdom and intuition.
Want to become a Wilder Bramley member and enjoy the benefits? Membership forms will be available throughout the fete, we would love to have you onboard.
Watch this space for more updates.
So what do you think of this lot then, changing our names?
"I'm not sure what the Elm they are thinking of".
Great turn out for the Elm naming event. Watch this space for update on the winning names.

September 2024 - Bramley Bat Walk
Our thanks to Kelly from the Hampshire Bat Group,who in conjunction with Wilder Bramley, laid on a Bramley Bat Walk.
Not surprisingly, it was mainly the Common Pipistrelle, with the occasional Soprano Pipistrelle bats that were heard on the sound recoding equipment and were able to be seen on the thermal camera . These two bats are common to our area. Included are pictures of some of the spectrograms for the bats, social call and feeding buzz recordings.
The walk raised over £50 for the Hampshire Bat Group and was enjoyed by all those who attended.
The Sighting Log gives more information of location/ time/bat species etc.
