Bees
At our recent Annual Meeting we were fortunate enough to have Philip Shepherd as our guest speaker, talking on the subject of bees and beekeeping.
Chalk Scrapes
When walking round the Park you might notice a couple of areas where the grass has been scraped back. This is part of an initiative led by the Council as part of its response to the Climate Emergency. The areas were created by the Senior Biodiversity Officer.
Creating a scrape
The aim is to encourage the growth of Kidney Vetch plants on the exposed chalk. This plant is essential in the lifecycle of the Small Blue butterfly and we hope that this work will attract more of these butterflies to the Oaks.
