In August 2023, we were delighted to show round the Trustees from Tarka Country Trust. The Sports and Recreation Centre had been awarded a grant to sow wild flowers and they wished to visit to see our progress. Along with a grant from ND Biosphere for flower and grass seed, and trees from the Woodland Trust, the new extension area to the Community Nature Area had been created in February.

The flowers from the native seed mix have eventually started to bloom and are clearly very attractive to pollinators such as hoverflies and bees.
It was decided to dig out a scrape or shallow pond behind the new bank. It has been so dry this season, that water has not filled it yet, so it remains to be seen if it will be useful to wildlife.
