Imogen’s First Day

Monday, October 1st 2018

Today was Imogen's first day as Trainee Reserve Manager at Foxglove having previously worked with the RSPB at Bempton Cliffs as a seabird researcher and with Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) as a Wildlife Trainee. Although the majority of the day was taken up with induction admin tasks we managed to get stuck into some practical work during the late afternoon. 

We have busied ourselves with cutting a few of the mini meadows where the wildflowers have finally gone to seed.

This would now be categorised as a very late hay cut, which is advantageous when trying to allow some of the later emerging species (such as Devil's-bit Scabious) to break through heavy grass sward.
