Hello and welcome to your February news from SEEE!
It's been good to see more brightness in the skies and hear the sound of birdsong in the last few days. The newness of spring is on its way 🌱 At SEEE we're starting to add brand new articles and blogs to the resources on our website; some of which are also featured in the Vision Portal which you can sign up to for free.
If you have any news to share please email caroline.foot@seee.co.uk. Don't forget to tag us in social media posts on LinkedIn and Facebook, so we can share your news and events there too.
