HILLS FARM CONSERVATION GROUP JULY 2013 NEWS

Some of our group members ready for action along the Riverside


July so far has been very warm and dry,  good weather for butterflies ranging along the banks, for Bumblebees on the Bramble flowers and clover - and for damselflies emerging from the river.

A news briefing on the local development has been send to members, giving updated schedules for the various phases.

We are already planning for winter work - can we do more to improve our natural environment? We hope to plant more early-flowering native plants and bulbs in places where they will be of benefit to wildlife in the spring, where at present there are only empty stretches of 'amenity grass'
