Stillingfleet Lodge Wildlife Day

Back again at our Wildlife Day are North Yorkshire Rotters, sharing their tips on composting kitchen waste and recycling in general.

Composting is a major part of how we keep our garden free of chemicals - if you keep your eyes peeled you might be able to see jst how many compost heaps we have.

Just 4 weeks to go until our 2026 Wildlife Day, and we are continuing to share with you our wonderful exhibitors - this time it is the Yorkshire Dragonfly Group - part of the British Dragonfly Society. Keith is an absolute font of knowledge about all things dragonfly. On a sunny day expect to see damselflies around our pond - and if you are lucky there will be the larger dragonflies too.

And if you want to get involved, why not join next weekend?

We are delighted that East Yorkshire Bat Group will once again be joining us on the day. Learn about the many species of bat we have in the UK and why they are so vital to a healthy ecosystem. The EYBG are affiliated to the Bat Conservation Trust and will let you know what to do if you find an injured bat, have bats in your house or you just want to record your bat sightings.

It's and this is the reward in our beautiful lowland meadow - buttercups, camassia and orchids.

Our meadow here is a typical lowland hay meadow, or ancient grassland. It is not a meadow of annual plants, such as poppies and cornflowers, neither of which live in grass meadows.

This was once the ubiquitous type of old meadow in the English lowlands, but due to drainage, ploughing, re-seeding and fertiliser use there is now less than 6,000 hectares remaining in England.

At our wildlife day you will get a chance to explore the meadow and look out for bees, butterflies, moths and other insects - read more here https://stillingfleetlodgenurseries.co.uk/wildflower-meadow/
