Scrub clearance to conserve butterflies on this beautiful site.

Date: Saturday 22nd February 2025 with Sunday 23rd February 2025 as reserve

Start time: 09.45 at Oakridge Church, SO 913034

Conservation work to help maintain habitat, especially for Marsh Fritillaries, but also for other plants and insects on the site.  Please bring own tools and gloves if possible.  Some loppers and bow saws will also be available.  If interested, please contact Celia Morrison-Smith on 01452 770190.

These work parties, although principally aimed at maintaining good habitat for the Marsh Fritillary, are run on private land by the landowner and not by Butterfly Conservation.  As such they may not have a trained first aider present.  Any volunteers are therefore on site at their own risk.
