Faces Old and New!

Tuesday, August 9th 2011

Following the open day there has been a lot of interest in volunteering and new people are always welcome to join in on a Tuesday with practical conservation tasks. Some of the members of today's group have been coming to Foxglove for between four and eight years whilst others came for the first time today. Here are some of the group repairing boardwalk on the heathland. Birch pulling, fixing rails and checking mink rafts were some of the other ways in which volunteers helped out across the reserve.

Everyone agreed that it was refreshing to be out on the heathland and not weeding it for a change!

In the afternoon another new person came to visit, Adam Edmonds will be starting work as Deputy Reserve Manager in the next couple of weeks. Adam was in the area and popped in to say hello. Here he is getting to grips with the site map.

Whilst here, Adam was quite happy to answer the site mobile!

Congratulations on your new post Adam and welcome to the team!
