Following our visit here in May, we were back on 23 June to continue with the same work: suppressing bracken invading a heathland area by bashing it to break the stems. It was another warm summer day; and as it was over a month since our last visit, the bracken in the zone we tackled this time was of course much taller, but nonetheless we made good progress in completing the clearance of a good swathe of the slope. It will be interesting to see how this experimental means of control fares in the years ahead.
Of course, there was also time for a little stroll to see some other parts of Tegg’s Nose, including the lovely current display of orchids!
