Langdyke is looking for volunteers for weekend work parties to carry out tasks on the new Christ’s College Nature Reserve.
The work parties will particularly appeal to people who have full time employment and cannot attend the Monday and Thursday groups which meet on the Trust’s reserves.
The volunteers will carry out a wide range of tasks including shrubbery clearance, fence repairing, cutting paths and carrying out survey work.
Langdyke chair Richard Astle said: “We hope this weekend work will particularly appeal to people who work full time or have commitments which mean they can’t attend our week-day groups. It is a fantastic opportunity to get out into nature and help us to preserve and enhance the bio diversity of our new nature reserve.”
No firm plans are in place yet. It is hoped that once a list of volunteers has been gathered then a list of dates can be sorted.
Anyone interested in attending any of the work parties or willing to perform other tasks including admin jobs is asked to either contact Richard or to email volunteer@langdyke.org.uk
Meanwhile volunteers on the Monday work party have been busy clearing willow in a corner of the Etton Maxey reserve in the hope of allowing the already established reed bed to extend.
They were joined by some of the Galloway cattle currently grazing on the reserve which were attracted to the freshly cut willow leaves.
