Broadcroft and Perryfields Butterfly Reserves, Portland, scrub regrowth management

Broadcroft Quarry Portland

We are aimimg to collect up the horse poo from the animals that grazed the reserve during the winter and to cut the remaining bramble that the grazing has exposed.

If you or any of your contacts would like some of this for your garden or allotment, please let me know this week so that I can make plans to deliver on Friday.

We shall also spend some time with brushcutters removing some of the isolated scrub regrowth on the butterfly reserve at Perryfield Quarry and raking it off – if we have enough volunteers to help.

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.
