At a time when parents of school age children will be feeling like this is the longest period of ‘school holidays’ ever – a local collaboration means that there is something new for kids between four and 12 years old to take part in this summer. Lindfield in Bloom, supported by Sussex Wildlife Trust and with Lindfield Life magazine, has launched a poster competition. Children are being asked to design a poster which tells residents how they can encourage more wildlife into their gardens.

• Find information about how to help wildlife by visiting https://sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/discover/go-wild-athome where you can also find Summer activity sheets and more!

• The poster should be A4 size, with your name and age written on the back.

• Email a photo or scan of the front and back of your poster to WildlifeCompetition@heathermartin.co.uk

• Winning entries will be notified by the end of September. There will be a prize for the winner and the runner-up in three age categories: 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12

• Winning entries will be featured in a future issue of Lindfield Life!
