Last winter we were invited by Forestry England to do some clearance work on Monmouth Hill (also called Melmoth’s Hill) followed by butterfly recording this last summer . This had been an open grassland area for hundreds of years but had become scrubbed over and the grass very rank.
We had several very successful meetings on the site last winter and opened up a large swathe of grassland. We would like to finish this season’s recut of this area and also continue with the coppice coup nearby (pea sticks and beanpoles for everyone who wants….?)
Meet for a 9.30 start at the parking area shown on the new map
Please bring your refreshments and lunch, wear work gloves and thornproof clothing, and if you are a brushcutter operator, bring your PPE.
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.
