Hi,
This is weeding and gardening on a massive scale, or at least we like to think it is.
When 25 tonnes of cockleshell arrived at Saltholme it signalled the beginning of this year’s tern island work. In the last week of March, we took advantage of the fantastic weather to head out onto the islands, where we removed the weeds that had started to sprout up through the shells.
Check out the video below taken on Back Saltholme Island, where volunteer and blogger Peter will talk you through how and why we keep control of the vegetation on the islands.
Cheers,
Adam
