The Haddenham and Wadddesdon Community Board virtual meeting went wild last week, but thank fully all in the name of promoting local wildlife conservation.
The Board gave the green light to extra funding towards the 'Wild Aylesbury Vale Project', a competition with for residents to find ways to encourage wildlife in their areas by focusing on food, water and shelter.
The project covers six Community Board areas - Haddenham & Waddesdon, Buckingham & Villages, Winslow & Villages, Wing & Ivinghoe, Aylesbury and Wendover.
Working in partnership with Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT), Chiltern Rangers and local mental health charity Lindengate, the project offers ten micro-grants of up to £500 to help put ideas into action.
Buckinghamshire Council Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change, Bill Chapple OBE praised the Community Board for its commitment to wildlife preservation. "We all know how important this agenda is, not only during the current pandemic restrictions, but also in the longer term. I look forward to seeing the entries come in and the innovative ideas for supporting our local wildlife."
