Eddie
Asbery
, Woodland
Project Officer at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust says, “Scrub
clearance, coppicing and other maintenance tasks are vital to the
well-being of our reserves, but it’s getting to the time of year when we
have to scale down that type of work, owing to the nesting birds and wild
flowers beginning to shoot. It’s going to be all hands to the pump to
complete all our winter projects in time – which is where you come in.
By joining in with one of our work parties you will be making a really
valuable contribution to the continued health of our reserves. We’ll be
glad to see you.”
