Rattery Environment Group Annual Report

1[st] May 2021-30[th] April 2022

1. Achievements

Despite actions being curtailed again this year due to the pandemic, the REG achieved the following:

a) Free seeds and plants for local people

A packet of wildflower seeds, with information on creating a small ‘wildlifefriendly’ patch, was distributed to every household. Wildlife-friendly plants were also propagated by REG members and provided free for parishioners at Rattery’s annual plant sale.

b) Information

Environmental/wildlife information, advice and tips continued to be regularly sent to all parishioners on the local email group and added to the Parish website. A ‘Pledge for Nature’ initiative was also added to the website.

c) Meadow creation

Work began on turning a local verge into a meadow area, to contribute to the national ‘B’ Lines project.

d) Visits

Enjoyable and educational visits, open to all parishioners, were made to a local wildlife-friendly garden and organic farm.

e) Playground enhancement

Work was undertaken this year to enhance the playing field for the benefit of parishioners and wildlife. New play equipment was installed during this year, and in March, two very successful, well-attended community planting and maintenance workdays were held. A small orchard was created and dedicated in memory of Terry Underhill. We planted new hedging, plus a short avenue of cherry trees, to commemorate the Jubilee.

Our very grateful thanks are due to the following organisations for enabling the project to go ahead:

The National Lottery, for a £2,000 grant
The Woodland Trust, for 420 ‘year-round colour’ saplings
the Devon Wildlife Trust for the apple trees for the mini-orchard.

2) Trustees

Terry Underhill resigned in September 2021.

3) Looking forward

Overall, since the REG began, it has enabled the planting of c.750 trees across the Parish. We look forward to adding to this number and creating a further permissive path in the coming year.
