A tough job for HCS Southern Sites to cut and burn gorse and brambles at the nature reserve on the southeast corner of Hayling Island. Tom to lead the task.

All power cutting tools on duty please. Wear your new grey shirt for scratch and singe protection,  or dig out your old polo shirt with burn holes.

First time visit for several members to this our most easterly site, so please study the venue notes, or rely on your satnav.

End of day 2. Sandy Point.

It was a hot day. Volunteers and rangers pitching in together.

Lord Mayor Trelour Hospital for Cripples cared for children with Bone TB.

It seems a shame that so much of “conservation” consists of cutting back natural vegetation, carbon release and atmospheric warming.
