Amy Gray talks to Jon Pavey and Arnold Fertig of Histon and Impington Green Spaces, the charity behind the Abbey Fields venture that is preserving important natural habitats.

At the heart of the day’s event was the transfer of a sapling – a descendent of the veteran oak on CCSA - to Long Meadow - so linking the two sites. The 450-year-old great oak was clearly visible on the horizon, towering over its neighbours in the distance. One day our sapling will be a worthy successor to the huge sycamore that once dominated Long Meadow and whose habitat monolith stands guard nearby.

Many who have spent time at Croft Close Set-aside will appreciate its excellence as a refuge for wildlife; not for nothing is it considered a jewel in our midst. That’s why we are pleased that its wildlife value has received external recognition through being awarded County Wildlife Site status.

We are now very pleased to announce the names of the photographers who took the 13 winning photographs - congratulations to all!
