First the good news: a hedgehog has been seen on site. There was a reported sighting a few weeks ago near plot 114. The bad news is that a rabbit has also been spotted, on the path near plot 103. It hopped off onto the railway embankment as I approached.
On 3 October 2007, Ron Adams gave a talk to the (now defunct) Coventry Organic Group about how he created a wildlife pond on his allotment. The slides from the talk are available in PDF form (see file attachments, below). You can also follow the links to read a detailed article about this project.
Stoney Road Gardens form part of a ‘green corridor’ which, embracing parks, open spaces and back gardens, stretches from Coventry Railway Station out into the Warwickshire countryside. This section of the website contains articles on wildlife and wildlife gardening. Registered users who would like to record sightings of wildlife around the allotments should go to the wildlife sightings forum.
