Local Nature Plan : Stoke Gifford
August 10th, 2023Stoke Gifford Parish Council in partnership with South Gloucestershire Council has recognised the importance of taking steps to address the ecological crisis our world is facing. Acting together we will:
1. Address the effects of climate change.
2. Enhance the ecological value of our parks and green spaces.
3. Develop local habitat so plants, ferns, lichen, trees, insects and birds thrive.
4. Create and connect wildlife corridors.
5. Make nature relevant to all local residents.
We need everyone to become involved:
• To improve how we manage and connect public open spaces.
• To provide vital green space for nature to thrive in our communities.
• To create more attractive and healthier places for residents to live, now and in the future.
A Local Nature Action Plan has been drawn up in order for us to take the necessary steps to stop the decline of biodiversity. This is a five year plan.
Cllr Sue Bandcroft has been working hard in compiling this local plan, and will be actively involved in completing the agreed targets for 2023. If you are able to offer further support or help with this plan, please contact Cllr Sue Bandcroft via the Council Offices (or via the website). Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated and would also help build and support local natural wildlife.
Volunteers are needed to help with the building of • Bat Boxes • Hedgehog Boxes • Bird Nesting Boxes (photo shows Tim Hewer with a bat box)
