Broadcroft Quarry Butterfly Reserve, Portland, scrub management

Broadcroft Quarry Portland

We are aiming to burn up the accumulated brash from our work over recent weeks, as part of our ongoing battle with the clematis, Buddleia and bramble that threatens to envelop this reserve!

We shall also try to start burning up the material we have cut at France Quarry next door to Broadcroft – if we have enough volunteers to help (and favourable weather!)

France Quarry last week

The Dorset branch of Butterfly Conservation and EuCAN will be collaborating on tasks on a variety of sites on Portland.
For further information contact nigelspring@yahoo.co.uk /tel: 07981.776767 Meet at 9am next to the recycling centre at Broadcroft.

Bring loppers, bowsaw and secateurs if you have them – and your refreshments and lunch.
Please let me know if you would like to attend and include your phone number so that I can call or text you if we need to change the plans because of the weather.
