  • Lord's Hill Restoration NNR Launch at Rushmere
    (NB. To enlarge the images on this e-newsletter use the page zoom function) Lord’s Hill Restoration First week in July and another good turnout of voles set about removing the birch saplings, brambles and gorse from the Lord’s Hill area of Rushmere. As shown below the heather has already made a recovery since the pine forested area was felled in 2013 This task was undertaken in preparation for a short walk in the recently added extension to the National Nature Reserve, arranged for the visiting dignitaries at the scheduled launch on the 12th July. (Details about the NNR extension to include Rushmere Country Park were covered in the previous summer issue of the newsletter). The dense conifer plantation had covered Lords Hill for about 70 years until contractors removed them as part of a conservation plan to restore the area to its original heathland. Initially the volunteers had several tasks to gradually remove and burn the large amount of brash left behind. Many new flowers and plants have already began to appear which includes the unwanted 3B’s (birch, brambles & bracken) which the volunteers have regularly removed. As expected however the heather began to return, the seeds of which have laid dormant just waiting for the right conditions. Heather seeds can lie dormant for many years, even in the areas that have been overgrown for 50+ years. They will still germinate once they are exposed to daylight and - if the area stays open - grow into new plants, as seen in the above picture where the heather is already about a foot high.
