Flackwild Heath

Welcome! Flackwild Heath is a community project which began with the creation of 3 wildflower meadow patches on Green Dragon Lane in 2018.

We now have nearly 30 patches of seeds sown across the village and eagerly await the results in Spring 2020!

And we are off..!
Loads happening just now preparing the ground for planting, meeting stakeholders and detailed planning for school days and community to get everyone involved. 🙂

We’ve had lots of questions regarding existing use of the field (these will all continue as before) and also query’s regarding the planting and scale.

See attached a scale diagram of the field to show how large it really is and how everything can easily fit. 🙂

Watch out for dates in your diary
To come soon…!

Exciting News..!

FlackWild Heath has teamed up with Flackwell Heath Residents Association, Chiltern Rangers and Carrington School to launch our 1st major re-wilding project on a scale much larger than ever before.

We have received £19,590 from The National Lottery Community Fund to create a wildlife haven at the edge of Flackwell Heath on the site of the Carrington school field, adjacent to the alotments.

The objective of the project is to plant native species in the field which will develop slowly over a long period of time whilst still retaining substantial space within the field for all of it's current uses.

Ultimately, we're creating a space where wildlife and communities can co-exist together.

It's a community project and we'd love for you to get involved.

Go on. Get outside. Get some air. Get your hands dirty. Get amongst it.

We'll be at the Flackwell Heath Market this Saturday - come say hello and find out more. 🙂

Hi Everyone..!
It’s coming to the end of the season and it’s been and still is hot..! 🔥
(There’s not much growing out there)

Now would be a great time to cut and tidy your plots ready for winter.

Buckinghamshire Council have agreed to help by mowing all plots on their next scheduled day of cutting. That’s a big help if you need it. 😃

Funny how nature just works…

This plot started and really struggled from the beginning, several years ago. Dry, exposed, harsh.

It was only ever seeded once and then the family moved away and it was left to do its own thing.

This is probably the most natural plot we have in the village and perhaps my favourite too.

Yellow Rattle weakened the grasses just enough for the Oxeye Daisies to establish. Exactly how it should be.

Nature.
Brilliant isn’t it. 🙂

Has anyone tried the Merlin birdsong App?
Tried it this morning on Flackwild Heath at Orchard Green hoping to catch some movement in the nesting boxes.

Brilliant..!
