The Bluebell LBAP Project has received funding from WREN to carry out survey work, seed collection and bulb planting in a number of woodlands in Cheshire. 11 woods have now been surveyed as part of the project and 6 found to be suitable for seed collection and community planting schemes. Several of the sites surveyed were found to be not suitable for seed collection at all due to the high incidence of hybrid or alien bluebells present.
The Bluebell LBAP Action Group hope to organise 12 seed collecting and 12 bulb planting events involving the community next year, 6 in the spring and 6 in the summer, using the funding provided by WREN. There have also been 2 community planting events at Owley Wood, Northwich and Old Covert Wood, Wistaston, using chipped, native bulbs supplied by Landlife, the national wildflower centre.
For more details on getting involved in these events or in any of the other work being done for bluebells in Cheshire, please contact the Bluebell LBAP Action Group Chair, Mrs Julia Hancell on 01928 573697 or e-mail [email protected]
