Join Sustainable Stansted to celebrate local biodiversity and discover how you can help nature around us thrive.
We’ll have the findings of the parish-wide biodiversity study we have been working on with MKA Ecology and we’ll be joined by groups and organisations who can help you discover, enjoy and protect nature in many different ways. There will be nature-themed activies for children and a plant & seed swap too.
Come along to hear about:
– the fascinating creatures living in and around Stansted: for example, we’ve found evidence of otters living just on the outskirts of the village;
– ancient woodland within the parish boundaries;
– habitats that we can enhance to encourage at-risk species such as newts to thrive;
– making your garden more resilient to the changing climate;
– how to have a swift box installed at your home or workplace.
Joining us will be:
– Climate Change Gardening;
– Essex County Council – Local Nature Recovery;
– Essex Field Club;
– Gorsefield Rural Studies Centre;
– North East Herts Swift Group;
– Stansted Mountfitchet Parish Council;
– Uttlesford Badger Group.
We’ll also be launching a community resource which will provide information on what we can all do, in our gardens and beyond, to protect and enhance biodiversity in Stansted.
Entry is free and refreshments provided.
