Bramble bashing today in Malmesbury
Bramble bashing today in Malmesbury, clearing an overgrown slope for the new owners.
It was a 2- 3 ha bank which we cleared of bramble and left patches; the area was checked for wildlife as works progressed. The site had a footpath along one edge so unsuitable for goats; the area was not a total clearance – approx 30 % of the bramble was left untouched. We will return and treat the regrowth from the roots over the spring / summer next year. The cleared areas will be managed to create a varied mosaic of improved habitiat, given the river and other features adjacent to the site. Conservation at work !

Clearing Fire breaks on Salisbury Plain
During the heatwave in August, we were called in to help ARTIOS to clear fire breaks on the impact area on SPTA (Salisbury Plain training area).
Following EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) clearance, we flailed off grass and vegetation which had accumulated, creating a large fuel load for fires.

Robo Flail clearing at West Wiltshire Ambulance today
Something different today: clearing a bund at Wilts Air Ambulance and removing old weeds and leaving tidy for the “Summer at the Base Day” on Saturday 22nd August..
A bund is simply a mounded-up area of earth that can serve many purposes – it can cut down wind, noise, and visual disturbance, and create a ‘softer’ look. And it can of course come from building works to save removing material from site!
