Welcome to Limpsfield’s Biodiversity Corner, located at the corner of Detillens Lane and High Street, Limpsfield. This is a small, but perfectly formed community area devoted to promoting biodiversity and ideas to help wildlife survive and thrive in Limpsfield.
We’re very lucky in Limpsfield to have some great little spaces where local groups and landowners are doing their best to promote Biodiversity in green spaces – including Padbrook Pond, Moat Pond, the Glebe and Brook Fields, Eden Brook (down by the bridge on Bluehouse Lane – Titsey Road end), Ridlands Grove, Pebble Hill wildflower meadow, the Community Orchard at Grub Street and the Chart Orchard on Stoneleigh Road, amongst others.
Limpsfield’s Biodiversity Corner has always been a feature of Limpsfield in Bloom (LIB), lovingly tended to by the residents of Detillens Cottages and the LIB team.
It is owned by The Limpsfield Club who have generously allowed permissive access to the Limpsfield in Bloomers and cottage residents who pot, plant and compost there, ensuring there is an annual display of beautiful plants and flowers for all to enjoy.
Working alongside The Limpsfield Club, the National Trust ranger and Limpsfield Parish Council, we are ramping up our efforts to help biodiversity thrive by sharing ideas with the local community.
We hope this will provide inspiration and ideas for local residents and businesses to adopt in their own gardens and small spaces, all of which will help to contribute to Nature Corridors through the Limpsfield parish and beyond.
Nature Corridors can act as bridges to connect habitats and allow wildlife to travel in search of food and breeding opportunities. They help wildlife move through the landscape, dispersing pollen and seeds, and can act as stepping stones for migratory birds.
Each month, we will make suggestions for what you can do to encourage nature to thrive. See our useful calendar below of dates and tasks you can easily manage in your garden…
activities & spotter sheets
There are loads of things you can do at home to help biodiversity or just to get to know nature better. The Surrey Wildlife Trust and Woodland Trust have lots of activity sheets and spotter guides. Here are some, but you can find more here: https://www.wildlifewatch.org.uk/activities.
