The conditions were too icy for us volunteers to have our conservation session, but our intrepid rangers are made of sterner stuff! They did some work on the paths and Katy has shared these photos

We had a great final conservation session of the year yesterday bashing the self-seeded broom that is threatening to overwhelm some of our precious lowland heath. There were lots of common puffballs growing too. We wish everyone a peaceful holiday and new year!

A great article by @WalkRunRideShf on the recent developments of ‘our country park in the city’: thestar.co.uk/news/opinion/c…
