One of the Saxilby Nature Project's community nature sites is adjacent to a field on which solar panels are proposed. We have been in talks with Island Green Power who have offered the following: 1. To sublet (for a nominal rent) to Saxilby Nature Project two and a half acres of land within the solar park (opposite Hardwick Scrub community nature site) to be set up by the Saxilby Nature Project as an outdoor classroom for children. 2. To assist with set up costs of the outdoor classroom, including the installation of an accessible toilet, wooden shelter, and hard standing for use as a car park, 3. To construct a dual-purpose track (pedestrian+bicycles) around part of the perimeter of the field opposite Hardwick Scrub, and to meet up with a farm track which is a designated public highway, leading onto Sykes Lane, which leads into nearby Saxilby. 4. To sublet (for a nominal rent) to Saxilby Nature Project approximately seven acres of land within the solar park adjacent to the B1241 Saxilby to Sturton-by-Stow road, straddling the Codder Lane Belt. This land to be converted into a wildflower meadow by Saxilby Nature Project, and to be linked to the dual-purpose track referred to earlier.
