Joe Bear was determined to turn a one acre plot on town community fields from mugwort to a pollinator meadow. He had been birding in the area for 20 years and noticed the rapid decline of bird species. He is over four years into the conversion and we will get to hear how he did it, and see the life he has brought back to a neglected area.
The meadow won an award last year for most bird species seen. Link to article here
