Opening of the Five Arches Wildlife Site, Newton by the Mayor of Rugby

On Saturday 25th May the Mayor of Rugby, Councillor Bill Lewis, planted a Wych Elm tree to mark the official opening of the Five Arches Wildlife Site at Newton village.  See the pictures below.  Set at the northern end of the Great Central Way and accessed from the Newton Picnic Area the site had become overgrown with invasive species crowding out wildlife.

Working in partnership with Butterfly Conservation, Newton and Biggin Parish Council is funding restoration works including the removal of brambles and willow, planting of wildflowers, trees and hedgerows, path improvements and the installation of bird boxes.
After the opening ceremony, attended by over 50 people, Mike Slater of Butterfly Conservation led a walk pointing out many species of wildflowers, including orchids, along with the butterflies, dragonflies and birds that are now colonising the site.

If you’d like to know more or get involved in conservation work on the site please contact Mike Slater – info@butterflyconservation.org or Newton and Biggin Parish Council – clerk@newtonparishcouncil.org.uk.

  • Thanks for the ideas you have provided here. Yet another thing I would like to talk about is that laptop memory requirements generally go up along with other advances in the engineering. For instance, as soon as new generations of cpus are introduced to the market, there is certainly usually a related increase in the type demands of both personal computer memory and also hard drive space. This is because the application operated through these cpus will inevitably increase in power to make use of the new engineering.
