 1st APRIL  2021 - PREPARING GROUND FOR PLANTING

It's so good to get back out to a place we enjoy looking after. Today we discussed the management plan with our local ecologists and it's so nice to gain extra knowledge and suggestions on developing and sustaining our local environment. Thank you Nadine for supplying the wildflower plugs and bluebell bulbs, ground prepared and ready to plant. Watch this space to see how our pollinator project develops towards the summer.
