This morning I resumed work with the Murray Downland Trust
at Heyshott escarpment. This was the first work party of the year after last
week’s rain prevented the scheduled work party. The slope at the west side of the
main hill has been cleared of scrub and looks good for the primulas and violets
that we hope will attract the attention of the Duke of Burgundy and Pearl-bordered
Fritillary. The weather was excellent but the wet leaves and grass proved a challenge
for the fire meisters. Attendees were Butterfly Conservation members Paul, Garry and myself,
new volunteer Kay and MDT members John,
Mike H, Greg, Andy and Alan. We welcome new volunteers -

for details.
