A Wintery Wednesday Medley

Wednesday, January 23rd 2019

Frost coated vegetation across the reserve making it look like a winter wonderland.

The Risedale Rangers helped out by marking out the special UK Flagship ponds on the wetland so that the contractors can avoid damaging them. They then took some hay to feed the Exmoor ponies out on the moor.

The ponies appeared to be most grateful although it was just a token gesture to get up close and check these hardy wild animals.

Later on, Oliver and Richard from MoD Conservation came to the Field Centre to present the team with a brand new moth trap. This will be put to good use once the weather warms up. 

The conservationists then headed up to see the green works in the woodland which is near completion.

Work also continued to restore the wetland with good progress being made by James and his colleagues. The sunny winter conditions have been perfect for all of these big projects to progress, all good news as it is now a race against time before Spring arrives!
