The Butterflies Bees and Cubs project at Westerfield Station continues apace. Clearing of the Ipswich-bound platform (to make way for plants in Spring 2021) has produced a large amount of twigs and branches. The station adopters have used the material to create a ‘dead hedge’ which will help with wildlife habitat conservation and eliminate the need to transport the green waste off-site, in turn reducing carbon emissions.

The Suffolk Gardeners Guild has gifted some tools to the station adopters to help with the project and Network Rail has provided a storage area for the tools right at the station; this will enable the adopters to walk or cycle instead of using a car to transport tools back and forth.
