Corncrake Tree Planting
The new Corncrake Management Plan got off to a great start with the planting of 250 native trees to create a series of small copses along the Common Lane boundary. The Bridport Tree Group kindly provided trees, tree guards and their expert volunteers to get the planting underway and a group of Village Volunteers came along in the afternoon to finish the job.
thanks to everyone that helped and followed social distancing
Now we need to make sure the new trees are looked after through the summer, keeping the grass down and watering if we get a long spell of dry weather.
The Corncrake working Group is being led by Cllr Dave Dixon for further information please contact the Clerk
Corncrake Management Plan 2021-2026 Consultation draft
It is five years since the Corncrake Management Plan was approved by the Parish Council. The plan is in need of review and a draft of a new plan is now out for public comment.
A good deal of volunteer effort has gone into the management of Corncrake over the last five years; A forest Schools area is enjoyed by the School children, Fruit trees and Oak Trees have been planted, hedges laid and wildflower areas scythed. Some things have worked well and other things not so well – this plan review gives the Parish Council as opportunity to change a few things and agree to do some things differently.
Comments have been extended and are welcome up to 10th January 21
The Revised Plan and consultation feedback will go to a Full council meeting in the New Year.”
