S2 Ep 5: Orchards

The Devon Wildlife Warden

In this episode, I'll be throwing the spotlight on orchards alongside Amy Walkden, local tree warden and conservationist. We will be discussing why orchards are they great for wildlife, how you can go about planting one in your community and what to consider in the face of a warming climate. As usual I will also bring you the latest news and updates from the wildlife warden scheme as well as what you can do in June for your local wildlife.

ACT's Wildlife Warden Scheme is run by the Action on Climate in Teignbridge (www.actionclimateteignbridge.org) Ecology Group. The idea is to have Wildlife Wardens in every Teignbridge Parish who can help their local nature in a wide variety of ways - through promoting wildlife gardening, recording local wildlife, improving local habitats, working with clubs and schools, keeping an eye on planning applications and development and more! ACT’s Wildlife Warden Scheme would not be possible without the generous assistance of: Devon Environment Foundation; Teign Energy Communities’ Community Fund; Cllr Jackie Hook’s DCC Locality Fund; Dartmoor National Park Authority; the Nineveh Trust; anonymous donors. Many thanks to all.
