Thank you!

7 volunteers came out for our last task of the winter, carrying out scrub clearance and dead hedging at Abbotswood Local Nature Reserve.
 
Abbotswood is fortunate to host a good stock of oak scrub, an unusual species to establish so successfully at a site, though now it has begun to outcompete some other species and invade the grassland. By controlling this scrub, we create a mosaic of habitats with pockets of scrub and grassland. This creates the prefect variety of habitats for the widest range of species possible.

Also, a quick note to say thank you for all your hard work this winter!
