Together with the Parish Council, and partly because the Councils are cutting back on mowing for financial reasons, we are pleased to launch a campaign to make our road verges more wildlife friendly. We’ve identified two areas so far, both on the left side of Church Road as you head out of the village. The photos below show you the locations.
We’ll start the wilding process with a mass planting of oxeye daisies in March. Besides making a great show of colour for a long period, oxeyes are one of our most valuable wildflowers for insects. They are incredibly quick and easy to grow from seed, with little attention required. If you would like to grow on a tray or two, that you can follow through to planting, please contact Derek Walduck (derek.walduck@btinternet.com), who will provide the seeds and growing instructions.
With very best wishes, GreenSnape Committee
