    Ashbocking Parish Code: E04009164 Area Summary Ashbocking is a village and civil parish in Mid Suffolk that sits around 7 miles north of Ipswich. The village can be found at the crossroads of the B1077 and B1078, so many of those travelling north from Ipswich or west from Wickham Market will pass through the area. The prominence of the roads passing through Ashbocking means it has a different character to of some of its neighbours, but this does have its advantages. The area is littered with numerous small businesses and offices including a drinks producer, farm shop and the head office of Suffolk Wildlife Trust. There is a limited number of community assets in the parish. The parish church can be found along a single track road away from the centre of Ashbocking. The community was recently donated a plot of land which has become the ‘Ashbocking Community Land Project’. The parish shares some facilities with other parishes including joint groups held in neighbouring village halls and a joint newsletter.

Yet another warm spring enabled a few of us to get out and about around the county a few times in February. This came to abrupt end with the restrictions imposed by the outbreak of Foot and Mouth. The restrictions only started easing in May meaning that the SMG larval hunt at West Stow had to be transferred to Milden Hall farm (thanks to Juliet Hawkins for allowing us on her farm at short notice). Poor weather over this period meant that species were quite late in emerging giving the impression that flight periods were late and extended with numbers of moths recorded down.

Suffolk Wildlifj Suffolk Wildlife Trust is Suffolk’s nature charity – the only organisation dedicated wholly to safeguarding Suffolk’s wildlife and countryside Founded in 1961 Suffolk Wildlife Trust has been leading conservation efforts in Suffolk and safeguarded some of the county’s most important wildlife areas as nature reserves. • We are supported by 28,000 members and 50 businesses. We have over 1,300 active volunteers. • We care for nearly 8,000 acres of Suffolk's most precious habitats in our 50 nature reserves. • We advise planners, landowners, communities and individuals on improving land for wildlife - to create a Living Landscape that is rich in wildlife where species can move out of protected sites through networks of linked up habitat. • All our nature reserves are free for everyone to enjoy and our 7 Wild Learning centres provide opportunities for all ages to discover, explore and learn about the natural world. Last year we led 400 school visits and ran 550 events, including activities organized by our network of volunteer-led wildlife groups. In all, more than 60,000 people were involved with a wildlife activity organised by the Trust and many more enjoyed our reserves independently. • We have a dedicated team of 11 Trustees and more than 70 members of staff.
