Green Fifield aims to enhance and add to the existing natural assets of the parish of Fifield and the surrounding area. We aim to do this by arranging and trying to inspire projects focused on enhancing biodiversity and by raising awareness of sustainability and how to live in an environmentally friendly way.
Green Fifield organises talks in the Parish Hall on various environment and climate focused topics. A recent talk saw Hannah Bourne-Taylor (www.hannahbournetaylor.com), author of the beautiful book “Fledgling” speak on her experiences raising a finch fledgling in rural Ghana. Talks have also hosted Ian Wilkinson, founder of FarmED (and member of the village) and in March 2023, Lucy Bearman-Brown, local hedgehog expert.
Also housed in our parish hall is a Library of Things, a Green Fifield initiative which holds a list of items people in the village are willing to lend to others for those ‘one off’ jobs. The aim of this is to encourage reuse of existing items rather than purchase of new things that are rarely used.
Other activities organised by the group are local tree planting and a garden tree giveaway to celebrate the Queen’s Green Canopy (www.queensgreencanopy.org) and an ambition to promote a beautiful wildflower corridor on the main road into our village by undertaking some road verge management activities.
The group is also engaged with the Evenlode Catchment Partnership and Waterwatch (part of Earthwatch) to record water quality in Littlestock Brook.
