Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the volunteers who helped the Darwin Ecology team to pollard the willows over the two ponds we made a start on last week. Chris, Matthew, Jon, Janet, Karen - thank you! You all made a massive impact on how much we achieved in a short two day hit. This was all made possible by the support and funding recieved from the Shaftesbury Open Spaces Committee and the Commoners. We were also overwhelmed with the positive comments and support from all the passers by who stopped to enjoy the new pond views and say thank you. It‘s a great place to go if you're looking for fresh air and open space. Please go and have a look and let us know what you think! We hope to arrange some volunteer events on a regular basis in the future and it proved a great way to spend time outdoors exercising whilst also maintaining safe distances. We are hoping to reignite the Friends of Breech Common Volunteer group to start work on targeted conservation habitat management to improve the open space for people and wildlife. For more info or to get involved email mariko@darwin-ecology.co.uk We will also arrange events through Planet Shaftesbury website. Mike, Mariko and Gabe, Darwin Ecology.
