Moving Houses!

Harvesting work has started on the conifer block to be removed this winter. The bird boxes in this area are being re-located before the trees are felled. Here is Colin with an owl box and a standard bird box which had to be carefully taken down.

There will be more on this story tomorrow but the plan is to remove the Sitka Spruce from the wind blown area in the NW corner of the reserve and replant with a 70/30 hardwood/softwood mix as we did near the middle moor gate 2 years ago.  Watch this space!
