We are supporting Twyford Parish Council's Climate change plan , which has now been approved by the council. This plan is in response to Wokingham Borough Council's own Climate Emergency Plan

This page is draft, so there will be a lot more information to be entered as we gather it. Use our Contact us page by clicking here to send your suggestions please.

We are supporting two initiatives

The first is to provide residents with ideas and support to encourage wildlife in gardens and allotments. Below are some general ideas and links from various organisations to help facilitate this.

The second initiative is to look into redirecting the water from the TRHA Store building into water butts for the nearby allotments.

Ideas for the garden

• Have Bird feeders in the garden and keep topped up all year round.

• Provide a water supply for Birds, and other wildlife.

• If you have solid fences around your garden provide hedgehog holes.

• Have an area in your garden that is left unkept.

• We will be organising bring your plants for other members on Sundays, more news to follow.

Here are some Web pages with ideas to get you started
