Guided Walk at Long Hill, Woldingham

15/3/2020

0 Comments

 
​Connor from the Downlands Partnership led a most enjoyable walk yesterday for members of the Trust to look at the plants growing in the rapidly improving chalk grassland of Long Hill. The benefits of scrub clearance and grazing were apparent with early spring flowers such as violets and primroses already in evidence. Many thanks to Connor for sharing his knowledge of the site, Long Hill will certainly be worth another  visit later in the summer.

Fidelity staff enjoyed a day clearing Blackthorn scrub at Hooley Meadows last week. The new growth will provide food for the caterpillars of the Brown Hairstreak butterfly and help to increase the numbers of this uncommon butterfly on the site.
