On Tuesday we were at #Alverton disused railway, clearing the scrub for the #GrizzledSkipper. We focused on removing saplings and exposing the rubble associated with railways, exposing Creeping Cinquefoil. We also planted some to help attract the butterfly to the area.

On Tuesday, we were out at #Rushcliffe Halt and Cutting, clearing the ground for the #GrizzledSkipper. We removed some plants to expose the #grassland, planted Agrimony and Wild Strawberry to attract the butterfly, and had a bonfire to dispose of the woody plants!

🌞 16 volunteers joined the #GrizzledSkipper Project near #Kilvington, to enhance the site for invertebrates. Clearing scrub, creating sheltered areas of grassland, and planting 20 - 30 wild strawberry and agrimony plants. In addition, a number of tree guards were removed from the area🦋
