Ben Rhydding Gravel Pits Nature Reserve 20th April 2021
Hurray! Our first Field visit after lock- down, and how good it felt for 6 of us to be able to meet up again on a beautiful warm sunny morning by the river Wharfe.
The reserve is managed by a small group of volunteers from the Wharfedale Naturalist Society who, in order to improve the site and maximise bio-diversity, have undertaken a programme of invasive weed control, woodland management, and scrub clearance along with regular wildlife surveys to monitor progress.
