Are you interested in helping to maintain this lowland heath with its special plants and animals? Practical work could involve removing invasive birch and bracken, maintaining paths or spreading heather seeds to help with the recovery and regrowth of heather where heathland regeneration work is taking place. You will also enjoy beautiful views over the Dee estuary.
If you are interested and haven't been before please register by emailing info@wirralwildlife.org.uk
You will be invited to come along to a workday to get a 'taster'; for what we do and if you are then interested in coming along on a regular basis you would fill in a Cheshire Wildlife Trust volunteer application form.
