Exciting new project for the Memorial Park! The Stumpery Garden
We have wanted to have a Stumpery Garden for a few years.
There is a wetland area in the park- which used to be the bend in the river before it was straightened years ago.
It will provide another area of interest in the park. A Stumpery will contain, stumps, logs and wetland plants which will add another biodiversity area for wildlife.
It will provide a natural habitat for insects, frogs, toads, birds, hedgehogs etc,
The Basildon Councils Biodiversity Officer will be leading the project with input from the Friends Volunteers.
We have received a grant for £6000 from the Wickford Area Committee.
We are very grateful for all the support from Borough Councillors.
