Purchase of Amazone GHLT135 ground/keeper collector-trailed C/W high lift discharge to cut long, thick grass, mow rides in the autumn to manage flora and fauna. This will improve habitats for barn owls, white admiral butterflies, golden hover fly, pipistrelle bats. The mangement of the rides with this machinery would improve diversity. Also funding for tree surgery to clear trees around ponds; management of the pond would encourage great newts to increase by allowing more light in trees would be made safe but left with hollows for the great crested newts to use
