Catmere End Pond and its immediate surrounding area have been identified as a good potential candidate for a Local Government and Littlebury Parish Council Biodiversity Project to encourage an increase in native flora and fauna in line with the National initiative on re-wilding the countryside.
The Catmere End Pond and surrounding area have been identified as part of Uttlesford’s Nature Recovery Network powered by Commonplace. To this end the Parish Council commissioned an independent expert report on the Pond and its immediate surrounding area from The Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group (FWAG) East to ascertain what could be done to increase and restore wildlife habitat and attract pond life, wild flowers, insect, animal and birds to the location.
In carrying out this project and maintaining the result, the intention is to create an asset for the village and its community that is both beneficial to the environment, enjoyed by the residents and educational for present and future generations.
