Bernie
Higgins, Reserves Biodiversity Officer at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust says,
“Maybe you find the onset of Summer Time a bit tiring because you lose an
hour’s sleep when the clocks change? Well, there’s nothing like being
out in the open air for blowing the cobwebs away, so why not come and help
out with one of our work parties. The hard work and good company will soon
help you to forget that you are up an hour earlier than usual – and the
reserves will be all the better for your contribution.”
