Eleven volunteers came to High Batts on 10th June 2023. The main task was bracken-bashing in the woodland clearings.
The purpose of bracken-bashing is to reduce the vigour of the bracken which would, if left unchecked, smother other flora beneath it.
At the end of the morning we had a look at the dragonfly pond. Broad-bodied chasers and a broad-bodied chaser were hunting over the water and occasionally resting on stalks.
