Community Volunteers Boost Biodiversity and Nature at Stations...
While our work at Bare Lane Station continues to steadily improve local biodiversity and nature, similar groups working with the Greater Anglia Train Operating Company are to be rewarded with an official recognition from Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
The Greater Anglia Wildlife Friendly Stations Accreditation Scheme recognises the range of habitats found at local stations, from planted borders of shrubs and flowers, through areas of grassland, becoming increasingly 'wilder' until quite dense scrub and trees are reached. Such areas are managed by local station adopters.

DONATION
This is proving to be a very challenging time for us all, not least for volunteer conservation groups such as our own. We are trying every safe and secure way we can to maintain our programme of management work at our sites across the district. In this light, we are absolutely delighted to have received a substantial donation from Julian and Janice, who are friends of Liz, and who wish to support our conservation work. This donation will be especially appreciated just now, since we are fundraising towards replacing our old strimmer, after such dependable service for around 20 years! Thank you to Julian and Janice.

A booklet for useful stay-at-home reading:
'Healthy Hedgerows on your land’
produced by the People’s Trust for Endangered Species
It talks about more joined up hedgerows to act as wildlife corridors; the benefits of hedgerows for farms, wildlife and the environment; planting up gaps in hedgerows; giving hedgerow trees the space to grow on, and managing hedgerows well and at the right time of year.
