Cockey Down - Chalk Grassland Management

We will be popping hawthorn and blackthorn, in order to assist the wonderful wild flowers on this grassland slope. If we didn't clear scrub, it would spread over the whole area and smother the flowers.
We meet in the turning off the A30 (the turning is easy to miss, so we suggest you familiarise yourself with the location if you can, using what3words /// picnic.shiver.sleep on the right hand side of the road when driving away from Salisbury). If you arrive late, just park and walk perpendicularly away from the road towards the slope - you should find us.
As usual, we meet at 10am and aim to finish at 3pm. Please let Richard know you plan to come along by joining the session on our page on the WWT website at https://volunteering.wiltshirewildlife.org/.../10193770
The work area is on a steep slope so wear good boots. The weather is forecast for sunny intervals and about 8°C with a gentle breeze. There's a 20% chance of showers so please bring a waterproof.
