ANGEL FIELD MILLENNIUM GREEN
There was a good forecast for cutting the hay on the 17th July so we went ahead. Unfortunately the dry weather was interupted by thunder storms on the 20th and the hay had to be turned again to dry. The heat that generated the rain allowed the hay to dry and was baled and removed on the 24th 6 large round bales. Allowing everyone to enjoy the open space again. As there is more open space please for dogs to run please watch them and pick up any poo and put it in the dog bins. Thanks.
We were fortunate to get a group of experts from the Gaywood Valley Conservation Group to do a plant survey on the green. Pictured below. It was a good day for it and they identified 92 varieties of plants, shrubs, grasses and trees. More than any year so far. it will make a good crop of hay. When the green is closed for this please don't be tempted to enter we don't want any contamination in the hay.
We have been fortunate to have two new volunteers. If you like fresh air and a bit of helping the environment please join us. You may have noticed colourful signs around the green and the village encouraging dog owners to pick up their dog poo. I would also ask you not to put it in the bins on the green as they are open and unhygienic for this but use the proper bins which are at each end of the green. These are sealed and emptied by the Borough special teams. Enjoy our Village Green and hope to see you on the first Saturday of the month. Enjoy your village green. Keith Leedell
