ConocoPhillips’ Community Day reaps rewards for Warwickshire Wildlife Trust
Staff from ConocoPhillips will be pledging their support to
Warwickshire Wildlife Trust on 21st July as part of the company's
annual Community Day.
Eighty staff from ConocoPhillips' Warwick
office will spend the day working with Trust staff, helping to
improve habitats for local wildlife, particularly moths and
butterflies. One team will help clear wildflower meadows of
invasive shrubs and trees, which if not kept in check can soon
decimate delicate wildflowers - the food source of most moths and
butterflies. Another team will work on creating a moth mural, which
will be painted on the walls at Brandon Marsh Nature Centre,
providing a colourful identification chart for the many visitors
coming to Brandon, Coventry.
Judy Green, business improvement
coordinator for ConocoPhillips, said "We are delighted to be
able to support the fantastic efforts of Warwickshire Wildlife
Trust in protecting wildlife and natural places throughout
Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull. We are always on the
lookout for worthy projects that would benefit from the time and
support of our staff through our annual Community Day. This
year the majority of our Warwick workforce will be getting
involved."
"Our overall aim is to spend the day
doing something that will make a real difference, and it's
exciting to know that the work our staff undertake on 21st July
will have a lasting effect, not just for the local wildlife,
but also the local community and visitors that come from further
afield."
Phil Dickin, director at the Trust said
"We are really grateful to ConocoPhillips for its support. The
work the company has committed to undertake would have taken the
Trust twelve months to complete - we really can't thank them
enough."
