Would you like to get involved in some outdoor conservation work?
Join us for a practical task day at Letchmire Pastures Nature Reserve. This reclaimed colliery site now hosts meadows and a young woodland. In the summer the wetlands are dominated by an impressive diaspora of dragonflies, and delicate bee orchids.
