The Ranger Team gathered together for our monthly day on the downs. Today we were assigned the job of continuing with scrub clearing up on the Steyning Coombe. The weather was very kind to us & it was a pleasure to be up there working with such a great bunch of volunteers. It’s a slow job, and will probably be ongoing for a few seasons until we get on top of it. A Red Admiral butterfly was seen flying over the area & buzzards were being mobbed by crows in the distance.

Our team leader, Nigel, hesitantly suggested getting together more often to help move the job on, (we can only do this work during the winter months), and this was unanimously agreed. The unbounded enthusiasm of the team is inspiring!
