The next work party will be clearing around the tansy plants at the New Meadow and nearby areas that we have planted up – map here . This is to reduce competition with the tansy plants by some of the taller vegetation to keep our Tansy Beetles happy. Shears and insect repellent will be useful, although we have a supply of shears and gloves!

As this is during National Insect Week we will have lots of free gifts from the Royal Entomological Society to give away to volunteers.
