Will this new text fit in to replace current?

“The Flower-Insect Timed Count (FIT Count) is a 10-minute survey designed to collect new data on numbers of flower-visiting insects. FIT Counts are suitable for all, in urban or rural locations, and can be done at any time between the beginning of April and end of September. Wild pollinators may have declined in the UK by more than 30% since 1980, but we need much more data to be able to track changes in abundance. You can help by doing a FIT Count, maybe even repeating it over the season. You don’t need to identify the insects to species level, only to within broad groups e.g. bumblebees, hoverflies, butterflies & moths, wasps. The FIT Count is part of the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (PoMS), within the UK Pollinator Monitoring and Research Partnership which comprises the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Butterfly Conservation, British Trust for Ornithology, Hymettus, Reading University, University of Leeds and Natural History Museum. PoMS is jointly funded by Defra, the Welsh and Scottish Governments, Daera, JNCC and project partners.

Is that the new PoMS site URL http://ukpoms.ceh.ac.uk ?

Vilius-Stankaitis commented 3 years ago

Can I use this logo for Daera? DAERA.png

CCarvell commented 3 years ago

I have note of the new PoMS site as www.ukpoms.org.uk

is that the same as the http URL without the www? Best to check with @BirenRathod please?

CCarvell commented 3 years ago

@Vilius-Stankaitist this is the Deara logo that I have been asked to use - not sure if it matches your version but was supplied by Daera for us. I also have an EPS version that won't attach here if that is preferred. A4 DAERA Logo process with correct spacing

@CCarvell Biren has said that it is best to use ukpoms.org.uk, but www.ukpoms.org.uk will also work.

BirenRathod commented 3 years ago

@kitenetter yes, that is correct

kazlauskis commented 3 years ago

OK, we'll use the ukpoms.org.uk then.
