| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its benefciaries and any wider benefts to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | This year the Trustees/Volunteers have been focused on maintaining the features; the Stumpery, Sensory beds, walled Sedum border, Willow Arch tunnel and The Prairie grass bed. This involves the team weeding, trimming, barking and planting where needed. Bark and plants are provided by the Parish Council. We have noticed an increase in wildlife activity since making annual improvements. For example the Stumpery has evidence of badgers foraging, their are frogs & toads living under plants and logs. Slow worms are breeding there and squirrels hiding hazel nuts behind stumps and logs. The areas biodiversity is clearly improving with more birds and insects than before. The public stop and talk to us and thank us for the work we are doing. many have said that walking the area has had benefits to their well being. Elderly it keeps them fit and its very social place. |
