Trimming and thinning out grasses on the wildlife friendly banking area
Helping to maintain the wild area; trimming and thinning out
various grasses to allow more space and more light which will help the
wildflowers to establish. The majority of the work in this area is conducted
with care not to disturb the surface and is usually undertaken outside of the time
when the common lizards and slow worms are active (generally March – October)
which helps to reduce the risk of
accidental injury as they are protected in the
UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981.
Making sure to also avoid the crocus which are beginning to flower

A wildlife rich environment benefits both physical and mental health.
"Evidence
shows that a thriving,
wildlife-rich environment benefits both physical and mental health. People with
nature on their doorstep are more active, mentally resilient and have better
all-round health. Every day, we are working to bring wildlife to more people,
and more people to wildlife. Get involved and make socialising,
volunteering and exercise in natural places central to your daily
life". Source The Wildlife Trust website.
I have to agree as I have and still do enjoy
my time in the natural environment generally and value being involved with the wilder
side of the Green Heart Den, looking after the wildlife area, watching
and taking photos of the variety of species on the site. I find it very
therapeutic and good for my physical and mental well being

That time the rabbits were rescued from a delivery of golden gravel
And it had a happy ending. After we contacted the RSPCA a local animal shelter collected them and looked after them until they were successfully released back into the wild.
