Horsehill Coppice EuCAN Somerset Volunteers task

beside Downclose Lane - off the A3066 Crewkerne to North Perrott road


Our task today will be to help the Somerset Wildlife Trust reduce the invasive Wilson’s Honeysuckle (Lonicera nitida) , originally planted as a pheasant cover, now hugely destructive.

Lonicera nitida whole

We won’t be using power tools as these tend to break the plants into tiny pieces, each of which can grow again! It will be a nice quiet day – good news for some!!

Meet at the entrance to the wood at 10am, bring secateurs and loppers if you have your own. And of course your refreshments and lunch.
