Our next Task Day is Tuesday 12th September. This time we will meet up at Mount Fancy Farm, I will be there to show you where to park. From Taunton direction, go past the Staple Fitzpaine crossroad and turn right at the very next crossroad, easily missed. Follow Parsonage Lane to the very end, not taking the left hand fork.
The task is more bracken management but as we will be cutting second growth it will be an easy(!) day. Come along and give it a try. Hope to see you there.

There have been a couple, and another one to come, volunteer work days where we have managed to complete the bracken cutting and raking in 'the Bowl' together with more done in adjoining small former fields. 'The Bowl' has been cut and raked for the last 3 years, it is very rewarding to see the ground cover flora is flourishing. This year even the devil's bit scabious is starting to put on a good show, that augers well.
There has been a massive display of Gatekeepers this year and the Marbled Whites were also numerous. It is concerning that the common blue that used to be seen in good numbers have only been spotted as the odd individual. |
