The intrepid volunteers in the photo braved squally rain to work at our reserve on Sunday at Lankham Bottom. An area of scrub on a South-facing slope was cleared and burnt on a bonfire.  The fire also boiled the kettle for tea and coffee breaks – a good time to have a chat.

The Dorset Conservation Volunteers is a voluntary organisation which works on conservation sites around the county at weekends.  It  provides tasks at very little cost to a range of charities.  It is looking for more volunteers.  For more information or if you would like to help, please visit their website.
