Tree Planting
We’ve just hit a huge milestone—over 1,000 native hedgerow saplings are now planted, helping to restore an ancient field boundary at our allotment site! This isn’t just about adding some greenery; it’s about giving nature a real boost.
Hedgerows are like lifelines for wildlife—providing homes for birds, bees, hedgehogs, and plenty of other creatures. By replanting this natural boundary, we’re not only preserving history but also improving the ecosystem for all the animals that rely on it.
It’s a project we’re really proud of, and it’s just one of the many ways we’re working to make our space even more wildlife-friendly and sustainable. Here’s to planting more and giving back to nature!
Bird & Bat Boxes
We’ve recently installed bird and bat boxes around our allotment site to provide much-needed homes for local wildlife! These simple additions help support a variety of species by offering safe spaces to nest and roost.
​
By creating these cozy spots, we’re not just adding a few new features to our allotments—we’re boosting biodiversity and creating a more balanced ecosystem. Whether it’s a family of birds or a bat colony, these boxes are a great way to help our feathered and furry friends thrive.
​
It’s just another step in our ongoing commitment to making our allotment site a welcoming place for wildlife!
Crane Brook
We're working to improve the water quality in Crane Brook, a vital habitat for the protected great crested newt!
​
By enhancing the water quality, we’re not only supporting the newts but also helping to protect the entire ecosystem around the brook. Cleaner water means a healthier environment for all the wildlife that depends on it, from plants to insects and amphibians.
​
This is just one of the many ways we’re making sure our local habitats thrive. The great crested newt is a species we’re passionate about protecting, and improving Crane Brook’s water quality is a big win for them and the broader ecosystem.
Bug
Hotels
We’ve built some amazing bug hotels around the allotment to give our tiny friends a safe place to stay! These little structures are packed with natural materials like twigs, leaves, and straw, providing perfect homes for a variety of insects, from bees and butterflies to ladybugs and beetles.
​
Bug hotels play a vital role in supporting biodiversity by offering shelter and nesting spots for beneficial insects that help pollinate plants, control pests, and improve soil health.
By adding these hotels to our allotment, we’re helping to create a thriving environment for nature’s hardworking little helpers.
