The grassland and Living Libraries project will be unfolding over the year, creating more diverse nectar sources and food plants for invertebrates and birds.  This project, funded by TOE, will offer opportunities for volunteers to learn new skills in woodworking, plant propagation, understanding of grassland flora and creation of new art work for a series of signs and labels.

Living libraries will be created using recycled plastic timber to build bespoke designed growing beds to be illustrated with art work and botanical information, about the floral species, to draw the attention of visitors to identify grassland species they may then discover growing in situ. The all weather path network on site will be extended to enable access to all visitors across the site. Please get in touch to find out more if you haven’t already.
