Cumbria Wildlife Trust conservation work party, Wreay Woods Nature Reserve
Wednesday 8th of February 2012
10.00am-3.30pm
Conservation work party at Wreay Woods Nature Reserve, near Carlisle
Come and help to clear areas of non-native sycamore and beech from one of the last remaining ancient woodlands on the River Petteril. This will help promote the natural regeneration of native broadleaf species such as oak, ash and hazel, which are being outshaded by the non-native species in some areas of the nature reserve. We'll be cutting down smaller trees and using some of the branches to protect native tree regeneration from browsing deer. A marvellous opportunity to pick up new skills and to meet new friends. Booking is essential. Please contact Kevin Scott on 01228 829575. Please bring appropriate outdoor clothing and a packed lunch.
Where: Wreay Woods Nature Reserve. Meet at Scalesceugh Hall car park. GR: NY 448 497
