It has been a while since the last post, but this has not meant that there has not been anything happening. Over the winter much work has been taking place by the parish wildlife team. Despite the long periods of wet weather progress is being made to help nature and make the parish a better place for all.
With the assistance of a Duke of Edinburgh Award volunteer, work has been taking place at Bascote Road Scrubs Community Nature Reserve, Whites Spinney and in the SE corner of the village pond. Tasks have included constructing new rustic fencing, vegetation clearance, litter picking, river monitoring, and sowing wildflower seeds.
The parish Pond Warden has been busy working on the village pond having spent many hours behind the scenes, the fruits of which will become clear as the year progresses.
With spring approaching we would encourage everyone to find time to go out and explore what nature has to offer within our "wild parish".😀
