reserve update

We had a digger down for the day. The digger was used to create scrapes. Exposing and chalk for early succession species that rely on bare chalk, quite specialist and rare associations. The excess material was either spread where we hay cut or used to create a south facing bank which is favourable to an mixture of inverts. 

We also dug pits and installed woody debris in layers with soil. These create hibernaculums for herptilian and on this site primarily common lizard and slow worm.

Thanks all,

Sam
