Volunteers take part in conservation day at Bourne Wood
A TEAM of volunteers took part in a conservation day at Bourne Wood.
A group of 16 people helped the Forestry Commission with the maintenance work on Thursday last week which involved making a coppice plot.
Cheryl Joyce, the recreation ranger at the Forestry Commission, said she was pleased with how much work was carried out on the day.
She said: “What our volunteers did was use a traditional woodland management technique which opens up the ground for flowers to come through.
“We are trying to encourage nightingales back, as we’ve not had any present for a few years as the habitat has not been suitable.
“We could not have done this without our volunteers.”
