The farm and countryside around the village of Claydon with Clattercote supports a wide variety of wildlife including migrant and local birds and various birds of prey. We also have a host of insects – beetles, moths, bees and butterflies. Our resident mammals include shrews, bats, rabbits, badgers, hares, foxes and hedgehogs.
The Parish Council and the parishioners are embarking on a number of environment initiatives around the village to help preserve and provide a protective home for its flora and fauna and promote biodiversity.
These initiatives include tree and bulb planting, raising awareness and monitoring of wildlife and the promotion of conservation.
Projects range from the promotion of insect boxes, bird houses, log piles, hedgehog runs and wild ‘flower bombs’. Projects for all the family to enjoy.
