Project Description

The site is predominantly acid bog/valley mire with some drier heathland and successional birch woodland. Some mature oak and beech trees can be found on site, as well as a mature line of willow pollard in the bog. All manner of practical conservation tasks throughout the year such as: leaky dam creation; boardwalk repairs; willow pollarding; gorse removal; tree felling and much more!

Sessions in this group will start at 10am with the meeting point being on site next to the car park, sessions tending to finish up around 3pm. We ask that you bring your own refreshments, lunch, work gloves and weather appropriate clothing (wellies are a must for most of the year!). If you are signed up for a session and cannot attend at short notice, please inform us by calling 07887 758385. We look forward to having you out with us!
