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 !
