New planting and nest boxes

Each time I visit the Community Nature Area, there is further growth in the original Biodiversity Area (The Mound) and in the new lower part with the Flower Meadow.

Thanks to a second grant from Tarka Country Trust, two House Martin nestboxes have been installed at the rear of the building under the eaves. 

Also, a Kestrel and an Owl Box have been put up in the Jubilee Wood.

A new hedge-bank with trees has been planted right up towards the Allotments, providing hundreds more native hedgerow trees for birds and other wildlife. We look forward to seeing their growth during their first season.
