It's that time of year again! One of our biggest conservation tasks is controlling the bracken on our sand dunes. Each year we cut back the bracken at selected areas of the site. This encourages the rarer plants, including pyramidal orchids, and their associated insect life.
The habitat enhancement should be well appreciated by the hundreds of school children who will join us on wildlife hunts on the sand dunes next year.
Much of this work would be impossible without volunteers, so thanks to all those who are taking part! If you are interested in volunteering please call 01792 386291, or email info@stmadoc.co.uk
