Boyland Common Restoration - Your views needed
As you may be aware, the common has become somewhat of an
eyesore. A group, called the Friends of Boyland Common, has been set up
to try to get the common returned to its former glory. The group is in
the process of applying for funding to carry out the extensive work that
is needed.
This includes reinstating the ditches, planting up the gaps in the hedges
on adjacent land with native species and laying a small area of hard standing.
Temporary fencing will be erected to allow for seasonal grazing which
we hope will help to maintain the natural grassland and wild flowers.
There would be some simple rustic log and plank benches to sit on and
possibly resource boxes with leaflets and a blackboard so that visitors
to the common can note down the different types of flora and fauna that
they have seen. A brief history of the common is attached.
It is very important that we hear your views on what is proposed as local
interest is paramount to the success of the funding application. The group
would welcome anyone who would like to be involved in any way. Everyone
should be receiving a Questionnaire or you can down load one here - see
the attachment below. (You will need Adobe Reader to open the file, which
you can then print out and fill in)
Please can we have your responses by 12th or 13th December 2009. If you
would like someone to collect your questionnaire, please call 01379 644961
