Our Mission
To create new habitats and natural environments within the existing church field for the benefit of the local community and to be a sanctuary for wildlife within the parish. Over the past five years we have built a woodland trail, planted colonies of snowdrops and bluebells, and both annual and perennial wild flowers. We have planted over 200 hedge and wildlife friendly saplings and ten fruit trees.
We will engage with the community throughout the life of the project and reach out to those within the parish able and willing to become involved in the ongoing development of the scheme.
Our tasks for the coming 12 months
- Manage and develop the wildflower meadow area and its fencing
- Maintain the path through the woodland trail
- Maintain the grass around the fruit trees by regular cutting
- Plant up the raised beds with soft fruit and vegetables
- Carry out surveys of the wildlife within the orchard area
