What’s happening in Nore Barn Woods January 2008
Work days continued into December, including work to clear the central glade. This glade was created in 2002 to promote butterflies and wild flowers, and it is important that woody plants do not recolonise the glade. Every 2 years the growth is cut to the ground. Volunteers continue to rake the paths clear of leaves and to remove litter. Thanks go to this willing band of workers.Tree works will be carried out in the woods in January by Havant Borough Council, and also the hedgerow will be trimmed. A small number of hawthorns will be coppiced to encourage regrowth, and avandalised oak will be pollarded (top growth reduced) to reduce the stress on the damaged trunk. Three birdboxes will be fitted as an experiment.
Work days will be held on the following Saturdays 10:00 to 12:00 noon. Meet at the shore end of Warblington Road
