Biodiversity Around Towns  Scheme

Biodiversity Around    Towns Scheme        

Events

Other Activities:

It’s not all hard outdoor work or working with children!  During the first year we also had a fund raising green quiz night at the Wagon and Horses, a stall at Sudbury on Show and also a decorated tree at the Xmas Tree Festival in St.Peter’s Church where puzzled visitors were seen scratching their heads while they worked out the anagrams hiding the names of biodiverse plants, birds and animals.

Future projects:

In our current year we want to expand our membership, explore the possibility of “global kinship” i.e. linking with an environmental community with similar interests in another country and find our own land to plant to a new wood. We are also involved in discussions with the developers of 700 houses at Chilton Woods where part of the project is the development of 100 acres of woodland and biodiversity habitat. Long term we hope to be involved in linking woodlands and other habitats into a 12 to 15 mile continuous biodiversity trail around the whole of the Sudbury area.

More Activities:

As well as our steering group meetings and monthly working parties, we have a range of other activities. These have included:

A summer barbeque at our tree nursery

Recording bird species that visit our site

Talks from expert conservationists

A biodiversity walk around a farm at Alphamstone that was full of wild flowers

A guided walk by local wardens around Cornard Country Park.
