Raze the Rhodo at Wharncliffe Heath

Date Sunday 25th March 2012

Meet At Station Road, Deepcar, by the River Don bridge SK 291981
Organised By Wharncliffe Heathlands Trust
Bus Route 57/58
Description Rhododendron ponticum may have nice flowers but it is an invasive alien species and a real beast if it gets a hold. Help us cut back some patches of Rhodo on the reserve before it gets to be a much bigger problem. This will allow native species like heather to return. All tools and training provided, but please wear tough outdoor clothes and boots, and bring some lunch.
