Recently our staff and volunteers have once again been helping out managing other sites in
Yorkshire, this time returning to Pilmoor near Easingwold in the Vale of
York. Pilmoor is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), designated
for its extent and quality of fen vegetation. The site also clearly demonstrates
the sequence of habitats in relation to wetness, with succession from open
water to fen, and wet heath to woodland. Our team have been helping to clear
areas of invasive Rhododendron, by chopping down and strimming some of the
larger growth, hand pulling some of the seedlings and treating stumps with
chemical. Hopefully this will help to maintain and restore some of the wet
heath communities. Many thanks to everyone for their hard work!
