As part of The Club's ongoing commitment to enhance the
natural environment on and around Club Sites, a programme of
initiatives was implemented at the beginning of 2006 to help
Members and Wardens get more out of the nature that surrounds them.
Now in its 4th year of our continuing programme to implement these
initiatives across the diverse site network, with 40 sites
designated as Boosting Biodiversity sites.
What can you expect on Boosting Biodiversity sites?
- A large map on a central notice board detailing flora and fauna
known to live on site.
- Wardens adopting practices such as leaving areas of unmown
grass in order to encourage insects, wild flowers and grasses to
flourish.
- A nature trail checklist so you can tick off the species you
have spotted. By completing the checklists you will be helping to
sustain the environment for our native British species and plenty
of visiting wildlife too. Don't forget to hand them back to the
wardens so we can track the species making use of the natural
habitat on our sites.
- Download the
checklist for the site you want to visit before you go so you
will know what to expect.
