Volunteer with Heathlands Reunited

September 5, 2018

Practical management season has arrived! This can only take place between September and March each year to avoid disturbing wildlife.

As we enter our third winter works season our partners need your help. During a practical management task on the heath you will probably be asked to ‘scrub bash’ which involves pulling up species such as silver birch and Scots pine, which out-compete the heather on heathlands, or helping eradicate non-native invasive species such as rhododendron.

It may also involve stopping for a cup of tea and some well-deserved cake too.

Interested? Take a look at the timetable on our website and sign up to help. You can also look out for new ‘Practical Management’ boards which explain more about what conservation tasks may have taken place in that area.
