Inaugural Meeting of The Falmouth Allotments Environmental Group - March 2015

By -


Fifteen members went to the Boslowick Inn on the 11th March 2015 and enjoyed a talk and discussion with Cheryl Marriott of Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
Cheryl spoke about a wide range of issues, and highlighted the crucial importance of urban environments in wildlife conservation.
She suggested five key actions which would kickstart  an increase in a large number of invertebrates,  leading to many more small birds and mammals, amphibians and reptiles.
They are:
Open compost heaps
Ponds
Long grass
Bushes/small trees
Log piles

It was decided that the group would try to meet informally during Saturday coffee mornings at the clubhouse to discuss planning future activities,
such as a summer environmental day, which would include family activities.

Look out for the 'wildlife sightings' board, too!

Thanks to all of you for getting involved, especially those who attended, and the Boslowick Inn for being great hosts.
