HEDGE PLANTING SCHEME
A contractor has now been appointed to carry
out hedge planting around 3 sides of the rec.
It
is hoped that the final go ahead from the grant
authority will be received soon and that works
will commence before the end of 2025.
The
project will involve clearing a significant
proportion of the boundary scrub and the
old metal fence to make way for approx. 300
metres
of new saplings to be planted. The
new hedge will be a terrific,
sustainable boost to wildlife,
offering food, nesting sites,
pollination and
shelter for a
wide variety of birds, insects
and small mammals.
