A WELCOME Welcome to the first ever Wild Bleadon book of habitats! The people who live in Bleadon are very fond of our rural Parish and the wildlife they encounter. In the last Bleadon Parish Council Community Survey it was noted that 97% of the people in the parish sited the rural character of the parish as one of their favourite things about living here. We also know that the rural landscape, habitats, wildlife, and character of the area is often one of the reasons that planning applications are not granted in our parish. Across the UK there has been a huge decline in wildlife habitats and even here in Bleadon we have noticed less frogs and hedgehogs. So Bleadon in Bloom have decided to make a guidebook which shows, step by step, how to create habitats in your garden using very simple methods. The Brownies have created all of the illustrations, and these have been professionally compiled by our very own Bleadon Business “Drink Tea Eat Biscuits” at no cost! This will be distributed around the parish so that people can make habitats in their gardens. Once the habitats have been created, they can be registered on the website www.wildbleadon.co.uk and everyone can see how many of each of the habitats we have in the Parish. The website has also been designed, built, and hosted by another Bleadon Business, Web Glu. We sincerely hope you are inspired to create some of the habitats in your gardens so that we can show everyone how much wildlife means to Bleadon.
