Promoting Farnham’s Biodiversity
What's it all about? This group is working on a formal document and plan for biodiversity, in support of the Farnham Neighbourhood Plan, to inform local council, planning and development activities, to inspire and accelerate activity. This is joined by informal networking and activities, raising awareness, interest and action among local community groups in support of local biodiversity, wildlife and wild areas, connectivity.
