I’m not such a softie that I let the volunteers sit around not doing anything all day! I work them hard!
Above: Scrub clearance at Warden Hill SSSI. This site is good for wildflowers & grasses that like nutrient poor soils. We are removing scrub, for Luton Borough Council, here to reduce nutrient levels in the soil. Other conservation groups are involved in this site such as Beds Wildlife Trust, Luton & Dunstable Conservation Volunteers and BRCC to name some.
Above: Colin feeds the fire. It has been known for the fire service to turn up on site, so we make sure they are aware we are having a controlled burn and we keep the fire as small as possible to do the job.
Above: Jim and Sam are good friends and can often be seen working together, and heard …. they do like their banter!
