SPARHAM PARISH COUNCIL NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT
A funding application was submitted to the National Lottery for a wildflower area of interest to be made on the Village Green in May 2021. However, more support from residents in the Parish has been requested to take the application to the next stage.
During the pandemic local natural space has become even more significant, it is hoped that by creating a wildflower area on the Village Green it will both serve as an additional place in the Village to visit as well as contributing positively to local wildlife and their habitat.
It is also of benefit to the local wildlife providing additional resource including nectar for bees and other insects. There is already a small, dedicated wildflower section in the Churchyard, this is being monitored to ensure that local habitat is considered in the project plans. It is hoped by doing this it increases its chance of success.
