600 join forces with Eco Church
A staggering 600 registrations have just been scooped by A Rocha UK’s Eco Church award scheme.
The 600th congregation to join the Eco Church family is Christ Church Abingdon (pictured) – which boasts a historic association with A Rocha UK. They support Peter and Miranda Harris, who set up the first A Rocha centre in Portugal in 1983.
‘Our registration has grown out of the longstanding links we have with A Rocha,’ said Eco Church Rep Dalibor Warburton.

Foxearth Meadows on Countryfile
Foxearth Meadows Nature Reserve is coming to a small screen near you! A Rocha UK’s dragonfly haven will feature on BBC One’s highly popular programme Countryfile this Sunday (4.55pm on 4th June).
The Countryfile team report on rural and environmental issues at various regions across the UK. As part of this Sunday’s focus on Essex, the programme will show presenter Ellie Harrison exploring Foxearth Meadows (pictured) – the country’s only nature reserve managed specifically for dragonflies.
As the BBC schedule tells us, Ellie ‘gets up close to these highly coloured and fascinating insects’. From the comfort of their own homes, Countryfile viewers will be able to join Ellie on her trip to the site. Visitors will be especially welcome at the reserve in the week following the programme.
