You may have seen the new planting in Sandy Lane, Bennett's Copse and Bennett's Drift. Walberswick Common Lands Charity has recently planted some 800 mixed variety hedge whips as well as oak, wild plum, crab apple, rowan, field maple, Scots pine and beech trees.
The Charity would like to carry out some wildlife surveys on the Common, grazing marshes and elsewhere, especially of dragonflies and water voles as well as of heathland birds, reptiles and butterflies. The aim is to record and monitor wildlife in a repeatable way to assist the Charity with its ongoing environmental stewardship work. The surveys will be carried out by volunteers, with training provided by Suffolk Wildlife Trust. If interested, please do email clerkwclc@gmail.com
We will be sharing more information and photographs of future work here. Please contact us if you would like to know more about the environmental stewardship work that the charity is planning.
