Starting on Monday 18 August and continuing for a few days a section of the public bridleway and footpath running through our wooded heathland site will be closed.
Work is being undertaken to raise the level of the path in the area adjacent to 'black pond'. This should be good for both our wildlife and our visitors:
It will enable us to maintain higher water levels in the pond during dry summers which should help the dragonflies and damselflies.
By raising the path this should help to prevent flooding during periods of high rainfall.
Diversions will be in place whilst work is underway. Please help us by not entering taped off areas - thank you!
This is an emerald damselfly - one of the many wonderful species of dragonfly and damselfly that enjoy the pools on our newly restored heathland. Thanks to volunteer Russ for the fabulous photo.
Really impressive photo. Beautiful creatures, aren't they?
