Hatherop Parish Council
Serving the needs of the local community
CHEQS BIODIVERSITY GROUP and POLICY
In common with all other English Parish Councils, HPC has adopted a local Biodiversity Policy with the aim of improving the parish's habitats and enviornment for the benefit of nature and people. A local Biodiversity Group, comprising members of the Coln, Quenington and Hatherop communities has been set up to manage, with the consent of all stakeholders and in concert with other charities, associations and organisations, the plan which will unfold over the years ahead. Updates on progress will appear here and anyone interested in becoming involved with the group is invited to make contact via the CONTACT US page on this website.
By popular demand an ongoing list of Birds and other Wildlife seen in the village will be posted and updated here. Just add to this by noting your sightings on the village Whatsapp Group and we will pick up and update the list.
