North Berwick Law (or Traprain Law ): Ragwort removal

We will be removing toxic ragwort plants to protect the health of the Exmoor ponies that are used for conservation grazing on the hill.
About this Event

Twenty five miles east of Edinburgh, situated to the south of North Berwick itself and prominently visible from the coastline, North Berwick Law is a well-loved green space with stunning views over the Forth and much history, ancient and modern. In previous visits to this site we have carried out pathwork and ragwort control.

On this visit we will be removing toxic ragwort plants. This helps to protect the health of the herd of Exmoor ponies that are used for conservation grazing on the hill. Please note that this task may be moved to Traprain Law, depending on the number of plants that have emerged at each site

We encourage volunteers to use our minibus for transport. If you live near this task and wish to make your own way you must ring Debbie on 07510959496 to book a space and for joining instructions.
