Village Green bulb planting

Posted on November 10, 2014 by David Bettiss

On 21st October, a working party of Ferring Conservation Group members met on the Village Green at Ferring to carry out some bulb planting in partnership with Arun District Council. Hundreds of bulbs including some native daffodils, various varieties of tulips, as well as crocus were planted in the bed on the north side of the green adjacent to Ferring Street by the path that leads to the public toilets.

Keep your eyes open from next Spring and hopefully every year after that to see the fruits of our Group’s labours.

As part of our commitment to help improve the Ferring Village Green, we are joining up with Arun District Council for a bulb planting session there at 2pm on Tuesday 21st October.

It would be good to see a decent turnout of local people, and the fruits of our labours will be seen next Spring and hopefully every year after that when the flowers bloom. Meet on the Green and please come armed with trowels and/or bulb planters.

Help required at Warren Pond

Posted on September 27, 2014 by David Bettiss

We are shortly to commence the restoration of this much loved pond in Ferring, which is now owned by Ferring Parish Council. Much work needs to be done in partnership with the Council over the coming months, but this will start with a work day on Saturday October 11th commencing at 10am.

The work on this day will be cutting back some of the undergrowth and brambles around the perimeter to allow better access to make a proper assessment of the site. Please come along to help us on the day for this important work. It will help to start the process of getting the pond back to being a valuable wildlife habitat.

Please wear old clothes and gloves and bring secateurs/ loppers. The pond is situated in South Ferring at the junction of the Warren and Florida Road. We hope to see you there.
