Volunteers needed to clear up Berrow Dunes this weekend

VOLUNTEERS are being sought to clear up Berrow Dunes nature reserve.

The Bristol University Conservation Group will make their annual visit to the reserve on Sunday, February 24, to undertake sea buckthorn scrub clearance and would be glad of more help.

The sea buckthorn has spread over about half the reserve since its introduction less than a century ago, leading to the loss of much of the species-rich grassland habitat.

Anyone who wants to help should turn up at 10.30am in the reserve car park.
