We were out in the reserve today despite the drizzling rain. The monthly volunteering sessions are going really well. We continued to battle against the Cow Parsley, Comfrey and Hogweed which if left unchecked would soon take over.
Having lots of different plants creates a more stable place to live and this helps more species like butterflies, bees and bats to visit and stay!
