Caroline Bailey, Biodiversity Officer says,
"One of the tasks that we can really get our teeth into in spring
and summer is monitoring and surveying. It may not seem to have a
great deal to do with coppicing or taking a hack-and-slash approach
to brambles, but nothing could be further from the truth. As a
result of carrying out our carefully structured programmes of
monitoring and surveying the wildlife in our reserves, we are able
to assess the effectiveness of our autumn and winter maintenance
schedules. If you would like to be part of any of these exciting
year-round projects, then give us a call - we'd love to hear from
you."
