@joshual951 @AdamLinnet1 @EBLeisure We are recording quadrants across the site. Also have butterfly transect and breeding bird survey set up. First record of Large Skipper this year - now 20 spp of butterfly. Numbers up too. Gathering evidence of the difference new regime is making!

So along came 2020 & one of the founders from @MaccWild who wanted to use this space as a starting point for creating Wild Belt around the town, following the launch of the idea when @CraigBennett3 joined @WildlifeTrusts. They wanted to know how we could help deliver this. 6/x

@CheshireWT We are definitely hooked on scything as a way of managing meadows and grassland. Big thanks to Danny Hodgson https://t.co/SppgB7zJrP for expert scything tuition and @CheshireWT for helping with the meadow creation. Four new areas of meadow created in Macclesfield this week!
