Hedgerow Planting at Bisley Church, Saturday 18th November 2023

Thanks to everyone who helped to plant the hedgerow on a very soggy day.  It was muddy which meant that some of us had to be pulled out when our boots got stuck in it!  But lots of fun was had and the task was completed quickly so plenty of time for a very welcome hot cuppa and hot cross bun!

We had more volunteers than this when we started.  Hope we haven't lost them in the mud.

Wildlife in our Churchyards

Take time to have a wander around our beautiful Churchyards and see what flowers, birds, butterflies, insects you can spot and let us know what you find.  We'd love to hear from you.  Email your comments to bweparisheditors@gmail.com
