Future Projects

Swifts are in serious decline due to loss of nest sites, something we can do something about. Yaxley is an important location for them. Last year we followed the RSPB guidelines on providing nest boxes in 6 sites. This year we hope to build on this initiative.

Ash dieback is spreading across the country and all we can do is monitor it. We can photograph the stock of ash trees in Yaxley and report our findings. For the future we have replace these trees with suitable alternative species this is where can help.

To help with lack of nectar rich plants for insects we need to create more sites with flowering plants. Currently we help with lavender maintenance at the cemetery, but we can do much more sowing wild/cultivated plants that feed insects. We hope to sow these in the Community Orchard & other sites
