15th Brighton help “Clean up the Hawk”
| 23 March 2010
On Saturday 20th March, Cubs, Beavers, parents and leaders from 15th Brighton Scout Group joined up with the Friends of Sheepcote Valley and local residents to clean up the “Whitehawk Hawk” – a chalk figure cut in the downs above Sheepcote Valley. The Hawk had become a bit overgrown over the years, so there were plenty of weeds to pull up and turf to cut back. As well as doing a great job cleaning the Hawk, the Cubs met Councillor Warren Morgan, PCSO Jacqui Cutter and Whitehawk community development workers Andy and Tony Silsby and found out about the work they do to help local people. There was also a display of falconry from a local man who uses the valley to exercise his birds. Paul , the park ranger who looks after the valley was really pleased with the work done, and the Hawk can now be seen from far and wide.
