Our Projects
2nd Avenue Wilding Project
This joint project with Essex Wildlife Trust (Val and Roger Robson) is not just about wilding the space, but also celebrating its heritage. A life-size carved oak sculpture of a Highland soldier of Napoleonic times commissioned from Rusty, Marnic Woodcarving, together with information boards regarding Weeley's history, were unveiled on 11th January 2025.
Funded by:
Rose Builders £250,
Weeley Parish Council £500
Dan Land, ECC £1,250
Angela Barnes £500
We also thank Maureen & Rob Stock for the donation of the oak trunk for the carving.

Queen's Corner
Now coming into its third year, the ad hoc planting that was done after the removal of all the dead shrubs and brambles, has also been removed.
Julia Hopgood has undertaken a design for planting at the site, to make the area at the back more horticultural, but also wildlife friendly, with colour throughout most of the year. Now flourishing, more planting and bulbs will go in at various times through the coming months and years.
This is an exciting project and we would welcome support as we progress.
There are many strands to the work in which the volunteers of Weeley in Bloom get involved.
