France Quarry, the Grove, Portland: regrowth cutting and other habitat improvement

This is a very valuable site that is in desperate need to work to prevent it from being overgrown by bramble, clematis and thorn scrub. We will be re-cutting the clematis regrowth prior to treating it to prevent it coming back. We will not be cutting any dense or mature scrub as it is the bird-nesting season.
It would help with the planning if you could let me know if you can join us.
We shall meet for a 9am start, walk to find us if you arrive later. Please bring lunch and refreshments, and loppers, secateurs and a bowsaw if you have them. Brushcutter operators should bring their PPE.
