Loggery - Clayfield Copse
Sunday, 7th June 2009
The weekend 6th - 7th June 2009 was designated by BBC Breathing Places as "Dirty Weekend" with events across the country to encourage participation in conservation - Reading is a Breathing Places Town for the year commencing April 2009.
The regular monthly task for June at Clayfield was registered as a "Dirty Weekend" task and it was decided to build a loggery, a habitat for stage beetle larvae. The result is pictured above.
The stag beetle is a protected species and a priority on Reading Borough Council’s Biodiversity Action Plan.
This is the second loggery on the site, the first was built on Friday, 5th June for filming by BBC South TV as part of the promotion for "Dirty Weekend".
