Our Projects
There are many things that make our village special - but our Colerne swifts deserve top billing!
Hedgehogs were added to the IUCN 'Red List' in 2020 as 'vulnerable to extinction' in Great Britain (95% decline since 1950s).
Gardens and verges - a significant proportion of our land - have huge potential to help our dwindling wildflowers and the pollinators that depend on them.
Our Parish has some wonderful trees but the old adage, “the best time to plant a tree is 15 years ago” now has added urgency.
Our insects are in trouble. So easy to not notice, but this needs to worry us: we depend on them.
Our brooks are another special feature of this lovely Parish. However, concern about the health of our rivers is never far from the news these days.
Ground nesting birds like skylarks are particularly vulnerable to disturbance from free running dogs and walkers unaware of their presence.
