SCRUB CLEARING DEVIL’S DYKE

SATURDAY 4 OCTOBER

 

Reach Parish Council is organising a scrub clearing afternoon in the field between the play ground and the Devil’s Dyke at 1300 on Saturday 4 October.  Villagers are welcome to participate.

 

The scrub clearance supports the PC’s Nature Recovery Plan, by  enhancing biodiversity on the margins of the Devil’s Dyke Site of Special Scientific Interest.  Removal of the scrub will allow flowers of chalk grassland such as scabious, cowslip and orchids to establish and prosper.

 

Anyone interested in participating should contact Nick Acklam beforehand.  As we will be removing thorny growth, those involved should wear stout footwear and bring gardening gloves or gauntlets, rakes and loppers.
