–
9 June, 2019

Removing Himalayan Balsam by the river banks.

The work programme continues with many of our old favourites but with an emphasis on improving habitat on the Reserve for our warblers, including our famous but declining nightingales. We continue to work on maintaining viewpoints and access routes for the various bird surveys we complete and maintaining the bird ringing net runs. Please feel free to join us in these varied wildlife management activities
  • No previous experience is needed.
  • We’ll show you how to do the work.
  • Range of tasks to suit all abilities, energies and ages.
  • Meet new friends who also enjoy wildlife and the open air.
  • Find out how management benefits wildlife.
  • Tools, safety equipment and refreshments are provided.
All work parties start at 9.30 a.m. at the Visitor Centre and go through to somewhere around 1.00 p.m.
Work parties with a (Q) notation are accessed through the quarry so you need to be at the Visitor Centre by 0930 to pick up transport. There is no other access to the quarry.
Bad weather alert system. We operate an email alert system where a note will be sent one or two days before the work party if there is a probability of cancellation.
If you have any questions concerning this Programme, please contact Mike Thomas (01480 387749), or Trevor Coughlan (trevcoughlan@hotmail.co.uk).
