what we do
Wildlife Pond
Wildlife Pond
The RGBF Action Team were out this weekend building a wildlife pond behind Rising Brook Community Church.
A variety of grasses have been planted around the edge to help protect the pond liner from UV damage. With a bit of luck, we’ll start to see some new wild residents move in over the next few years!
Buzz Stop

Buzzing with Excitement – The Buzz Stop is Back!
Our newly renovated Buzz Stop is looking better than ever! Swing by to discover fun facts about the brilliant plants and busy pollinators that call our neighbourhood home. From fluttering butterflies to buzzing bees, there’s a whole world waiting to be explored.
You’ll also find colourful displays showing the progress we’re making to green up the area and make it a more welcoming place for wildlife—and people too! Come take a look, learn something new, and maybe even spot a bee on a tea break!
Tree Planting
RBGF are working on a project with Stafford Borough Council and Streetscene to plant trees in the local area. A successful grant application has enabled the purchase of a significant number of native trees.
Brook Clearing Project
Rising Brook Community Green Space
RBGF are working on a project to clear the overgrown vegetation blocking access to our brooks. A community grant to purchase some waders enables us to get stuck in and remove deliberately dumped items such as mattresses and shopping trolleys.
