  • Meet on site. Check with Contact regarding tea/coffee, etc.
We are limited in the tasks we are able to undertake during the late spring and early summer by the need to minimise disturbance to wildlife, particularly to nesting birds, hence the rather sparse appearance of our programme. We hope to run a full programme over this period and will be making regular updates.
