MILLENNIUM GREEN PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

MILLENNIUM GREEN PLANS FOR 2024

At an open meeting in the Village Hall in September over forty people heard
short presentations on ways in which Landkey people are concerned about
Nature and what they are doing about it, -from hedgehogs to beavers; there is
a lot going on. Following its pioneering work in saving mazzard trees the Green
is playing an important part, such as aiding pollination with its meadow and
encouraging birds in its woodland. Working with others, the Green’s trustees
are now seeking funding to make the Green an even more attractive place for
Landkey people and Nature in 2024, with new information boards on what is
going on.
Volunteers are a key part of this, whether inspecting daily or doing practical
work; thank you! Watch the next News for dates of birdbox and pruning work
in February, also for a session on using inaturalst.org and bringing together
info on Landkey’s nature. Working Parties are planned for Sat 27 April, 25 May
and 23 May on the Green from 9.30 to 11. New helpers are very welcome.
Those at the September meeting voted that Landkey should work to make
itself a contender for a Devon award as a Wildlife Community.
