Working with Plantlife


This coming Sunday, the 12th February, members of the Derbyshire Dales Group of the Ramblers' Association are going to be working with Plantlife in Deep Dale, near White Lodge Picnic Site.

To get there drive up the A6 from Bakewell towards Buxton, a mile or so beyond the Ashford in the Water turn, White Lodge is on your left.

You can visit the Plantlife website at http://www.plantlife.org.uk/ - we'll be working with them clearing the dale side of overgrowth I should think. We won't really know what we're doing until we're there to be honest.

There's should be a photograph with this but it's proving awkward so perhaps I'll upload it tomorrow ! Ah - managed it .... it just wouldn't upload last night. Anyway this is a photo of us working on the hillside last year. We were cutting down all the small trees so that the grassland is preserved.
