Nature Calls

As you eagerly dust down your spade and have your mower serviced ready to work on your garden can we ask you to consider the importance of wildlife and the eco-system in your forthcoming plans. For those of you at our enthusiastic meeting last September we know you are already committed. Some of you are surveying hedgerows, some identifying the birds in your gardens and collating the species.This is all really important in our community project of creating wildlife corridors around the Barnack ward. We have a wonderful start with some superb natural areas and we are seeking to encourage more conservation over the years. And what better place to start than your own garden where you can do so much with very little effort. Plant flowers and shrubs which encourage butterflies and bees, let the grass grow just a little bit longer, a pile of logs or stones. Bugs love an untidy garden – which should make us all feel better and under less pressure!

This is the calendar of events planned for the Barnack ward – we hope you will be able to support some of them.
