Lindow Common – heathland work

February 4, 2026 by Ferret

On Sunday 1 February we were back at Lindow Common, working with the Cheshire East Ranger Nicola and building on the work we did here last March. This is a lowland heath site, and today’s work mainly involved gathering birch trees that had already been cut down, removing small birch saplings using tree-poppers and creating habitat piles with the cut material. This is all part of the worthwhile work that the rangers are doing to restore an area from woodland back to lowland heath!
