Sun 21 May 2017: Southill Solar Open Day Sunday 21st May 10.00am - 2pm
This event is in the past.
• Join Southill Community Energy for a walk to the Southill Solar site
• Meet for a?10.00am departure Sunday?21st May?at the Cornbury Bridge?over the Evenload on the main entrance into Cornbury.
Southill Community Energy directors Tim Crisp, Als Parker and Chris Barras are delighted to invite you to join them and other Southill members on the section of the Parish Boundary Walk to the Southill Solar site. This will be an exciting opportunity to visit the solar farm and learn more about recent developments and the workings of the solar site:
• Hear about the the?biodiversity?and landscape management plans for the site and see the young apple orchard trees recently planted.
• View the?UK's first Thermosolar?hive, helping eradicate the Varroa mite, currently being installed!
• Learn about the?performance?of the solar panel arrays so far and see how renewable energy generation works in action...
• You are welcome to bring a?picnic?and stay on site until?2.00pm. The site is being established as a?conservation?area for ground nesting birds such as skylarks so we will need to take care not to disturb habitats.
We look forward to welcoming you on the walk and then on site...
Tim and the Southill team
p.s. the Parish Boundary Walk is not an established footpath and unfortunately not suitable for buggies. The walk from Cornbury Bridge to the site takes approximately an hour, please wear sturdy footwear!
