Wednesday, 10th March, 10am - 1pm
Meet at Hurstwood Road, Bredhurst

Helpers are invited to assist with setting out a number of reptile ‘refugia’.  These are thin metal sheets or pieces of roofing felt placed in areas where reptiles are known to live. These will then be monitored regularly throughout the season and, hopefully, will demonstrate that our restoration programme has benefited reptiles in the area.

Anyone wishing to assist please contact Vanessa Jones - details above
