The Friends of Island Pond Wood have been awarded £9,345 for the first year of their ‘Biodiversity Boost’ project.
The Friends of Island Pond Wood are striving to enhance the site’s biodiversity to help the species which live there thrive. Works including pond creation, woodland thinning and wildflower meadow creation will provide opportunities for not only wildlife, but community engagement and education.
This grant will fund the first year of the 5-year project. The project will benefit the local community by increased wildlife spectacle and enhancing this green space.
This project also includes community engagement and education through guided walks, community events and working with local groups including schools and Scouts.
