CHURCHES COUNT ON NATURE – June 8th

The results of the bio blitz have been collated against last year’s and we are delighted to confirm that the new management plan of the churchyard has improved biodiversity.

A kestrel and a green woodpecker have been added to the bird list this year, and there have been more moth species and plants including caper spurge, cuckoo flower and harebells as well.  Many thanks to all the volunteers who assist in the maintenance of the churchyard and undertake the bio blitz.

The next event will be the “autumn” tidy up followed by a simple ploughman’s lunch on a Saturday towards the end of August/beginning of September. Dates for this tidy up and lunch will be advised in due course.

If you are able to volunteer to strim, rake, mow and help with the lunch, please let Debra Thatcher know.
