On Saturday 30 May people are invited to the Merritts Meadow Nature Day, from 10:30am, at the top of North Road (near The Barn).

It’s about celebrating biodiversity on the one acre community owned site.

Melanie Oxley is a trustee of the site and she tells Mike Waddington more about the day, the activities on offer, and how the community came up with Trust that runs the site.

She favours Gilbert White's phrase, "to see nature narrowly" and observe nature close up.
