Live blogging from the conservation workday at Lickey Hils

Birmingham Recycled reporters Natalie Adcock and Emma Williams spend their Sunday helping out at the Lickey Hills conservation workday.

The eco-warriors had the great idea of giving live blogging a try. Equipped with their mobile phones, they were able to keep users updated throughout the day by sending messages directly to their twitter feed.

In an attempt to make it easier for user not on twitter, we combined their feeds into one and featured them here on the site in real time. Underneath are, in reversed chronological order, all the messages sent by the reporters throughout the day.

If you followed along or have any feedback regarding this experiment, please let us know in the comments.
