The group is led by our East Reserves team. Who need your help to conserve and restore areas of rare wildflower meadows, grasslands and ancient woodlands, supporting natures recovery in Gloucestershire.

Over the autumn and winter, tasks can include meadow restoration, woodland management and scrub control, as well as habitat restoration for the Duke of Burgundy butterfly. The butterfly is only found at a few Cotswold sites one of which is Kilkenny.

During the spring and summer, the group focuses more on site infrastructure, repairing/installing fences to create new areas for conservation grazing. There is also meadow management work and occasional ecological surveys.
