Bug Hotels in the School Wildlife Patch
We are indebted to Mike and Glenys for raising £1,256 for WWG through the Village Show. Our thanks also to all who attended the event, took part by entering, the organisers and all who contributed raffle prizes. The money will go towards buying plants and trees, installing Bug Hotels and Hedgehog homes, working on school projects and paying for tools and equipment.
We have been erecting replacement Bug Hotels in the School Wildlife Patch, spreading wildflower seed and strimming back the grasses. The area around the Holland Pond has been cleared, along with the Orchards and Watercress Beds. We have two leaflets; one showing the locations of the orchards and the second covering the Upper Orchid Field. Both are available from dispensers on the notice-board by the Church Hall.
With the recent anniversary of 9/11 we can report that our White Swamp Oak, grown from acorns gathered at the 9/11 site is doing well. As it gets larger and is more robust, we will be able to publicise its location. The acorns were gathered when it was permissible but if you plan to bring back any acorns or other seeds from abroad these days it is best to check with Government websites on what is allowed.
