Carbrooke Millennium Green

A valuable community space for recreation and leisure maintained by volunteers funded by fundraising and public donations.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Tesco bags of help scheme we have installed a series of fauna and flora identification boards around the village green.

Wonderful spring for daffodils on the green

Much needed hedge maintenance carried out on the green ahead of bird nesting season, with the kind help of our neighbours Dawes Estates. This will strengthen the hedges and will be done on a rotation system to allow sufficient sites for flowering and fruiting for our wildlife.

The pond is settling down after recent removal of excess water soldier. Resident moorhens appreciate the open water.

Our pond was suffocated with water soldier, it’s looking much better following hard work from the volunteers
