Mary Tavy Parish Council & Biodiversity

Biodiversity – what does it mean I hear you say and why do you need to know?  A definition from the Oxford dictionary says it is…

“the variety of all life on Earth, encompassing all the different plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, as well as the ecosystems they form and the genetic differences within them”.

Also, under the 2021 Environment Act, Parish Councils must consider what they can do to conserve and enhance biodiversity,

so here at Mary Tavy we are now beavering away with plans to do this!  In the spring, we plan to engage the community to help

with, bio-blitzes, planting and animal homes to name just a few of the projects we shall be starting.

We have a policy, that can be found on the website, where our aims and actions are set out.  Hopefully, if you are reading it, you

will notice that some of our projects have already begun.

If you are interested in taking part in any of our projects, please

do look out on the website and social media for more information

on how to get involved!
