Local Nature Action Plans: Little Things Matter:  as part of South Gloucestershire Council Biodiversity Action Plan, Doynton has been asked to build its own parish plan to help nature. We already have several nature-preserving initiatives under way from Summers Field and the Parish Council, but we need to build on this work as a community. Our plan needs to address broader issues like preserving or recovering habitats and creating nature corridors where nature can thrive. We know that if we preserve it or create it, nature will come – as many hedgehogs and owls can attest. Sarah Magraw (sarah.magraw [at] gmail.com) has taken on responsibility for building Doynton's plan. She is keen to hear both ideas and offers of support from those with expertise and/or enthusiasm around the village. Potential projects being evaluated are: a wildlife tower; the creation of a wildlife corridor between Doynton and Dyrham; and a scheme to monitor the health of our rivers. You can look at other parish plans here.
