In late 2020 volunteers seeded an area @ Derby Road station to create a wildflower meadow. Annually, after the flowers die back, it's strimmed; the seeds then drop. Today volunteers raked the meadow & put the stalks into on-site compost bins. A frog, firebug & ladybirds were observed in the meadow.
