Christine Callard, a Wildlife Warden for College Ward (Newton Abbot), gained permission from Teignbridge District Council to create a wildlife area at Ogwell Cross Cemetery. A native, species-rich hedge was planted with help from Ogwell Wildlife Wardens. Native spring-flowering bulbs were also planted as well as a variety of wildflower seed, including yellow-rattle, which is now established. With help from a friend and TDC, Chris designed and installed an information board. She also installed bird boxes and a bench so that visitors can sit and enjoy the wildlife. Many thanks to Cllr Janet Bradford, Cllr Jackie Hook and Cllr Gordon Hook for providing funding for this project.
