The UK ranks 191 out of 218 countries for Biodiversity Intactness (State of Nature Report 2016). It’s not just rare species that are in trouble, the abundance of common species are falling. Nature needs our help and this project will pool the resources, knowledge, land and labour in the Parish of South Brent to come to the rescue.
What are we doing?
We have successfully established the wildflower verge along Exeter Road and the orchard at the Health Centre in 2019. The group is focussing on the following projects:
– Working with the Parish Council on the recommendations of the ‘Vision 2020 report’ to enhance green spaces across the village
– Setting up a wildlife gardening group
– Working with St Petroc’s to allow some of the churchyard to being more wildlife friendly
– Working with South West Water to scythe the meadow at the Marsh and increase biodiversity
– Working with private landowners to establish orchards and wildflower meadows where possible
