Community Bee Garden work party:
There is evidence that populations of bees and other pollinators are less healthy and abundant than they have been. If action is not taken, pollinator declines will have serious implications for biodiversity, food production and your garden.
The Community Bee Garden at Clift Meadow is trying to address this issue by providing food water and shelter throughout the seasons. This however can’t be achieved without your help. If you would like to help the Bees, please come along to one of our monthly work groups and help make the bees a home to be proud of.

Sunday August 3rd: River Walk along the Loddon
Join us in a walk along the River Loddon, a rare chalk stream we have runing through our Parish.
The UK is home to 85% of the world’s chalk streams – some of the most ecologically rare and special habitats on our planet.
The river Loddon is a chalk stream which rises at Basingstoke and travels north until it reaches the Thames (just west of Wargrave). There are two important local stretches of river, near Stanford End Mill (Swallowfield) and Bow Brook (Bramley) which are designated as sites of special scientific interest.
Their pure, clear, constant water from underground chalk aquifers and springs, flowing across gravel beds makes them a perfect source of freshwater. This creates ideal habitats to support a huge variety of wildlife and provide natural protection from flooding by storing water in the landscape and slowing the flow downstream. Their crystal-clear waters are home for salmon, brown trout, water voles, white-clawed crayfish and kingfishers, making them our equivalent to the Great Barrier Reef or the Amazon Rainforest.
