Repair & Restore

What we do

Volunteers work with National Trust Rangers all year round maintaining the landscape, preventing the encroachment of silver birch and pine scrub on the heathland and rhododendron in the woodland.

We also repair and maintain the infrastructure on the sites and this time we were working on improving the car park in Simon's Wood

Environment 

Rhododendron Ponticum is an invasive shrub species and spreads by prolific seeding. This forms a closed canopy shutting out the light and destroys the rich biodiversity in woodland.

Here the National Trust Rangers are treating the cut stumps to stop the Rhododendron growing back.
