WBCT have applied to the Big Lottery People’s Millions fund for a grant of £50,000 to enable them to create a wildlife trail from a landfill site at Studley Grange, Royal Wootton Bassett. Simply make a phone call. | |

Landfill to Wildlife TrailThe Studley Grange Wildlife Trail Project will restore a kilometre of canal and create a wildlife friendly place with water, hedges, banks & trees that will encourage water voles, bees, birds and other wildlife. It will be good for people too – for walkers, cyclists and those those who simply wander and ponder to enjoy the peace and quiet. |  |
