Bash the Birch on Wharncliffe Heath

Date Sunday 1st April 2012
Time 11:00 until 16:00
Meet At Station Road, Deepcar, by the River Don bridge SK 291981
Organised By Wharncliffe Heathlands Trust
Description Although our livestock do a great job at munching through young trees, occasionally they need a bit of help. So we will be cutting back some of the birch saplings on the heath to allow the smaller plants such as heather to flourish and provide habitat for so many heath-loving insects, reptiles and birds. All tools and training provided, but please wear tough outdoor clothes and boots, and bring some lunch.
