Wren’s Nest Mid-week Geoconservation Days
The dates below on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in November and December have been sent to Andy by Wren’s Nest Senior Warden Ian Beech. These are sessions when BCGS members are invited to take part in geoconservation work at the Wren’s Nest. This is a new venture to try and get around the problem of warden availability at the weekends. Please just turn up if you are available at any of these times.
Directed by the reserve wardens. Meet at 9.30 at the wardens’ office, at the end of Fossil View (the road into the new housing estate, site of the former Mons Hill College). (GR: SO 93699 92118). Park along Fossil View. The day will involve scrub clearance. Bring gloves, stout footwear and a packed lunch. Wardens will provide tools, hard hats if necessary and a hot drink. Finish around 2.30.
